In his position, Calderón indicates that the expert opinions of the Mexico City Attorney General’s Office (FGJ CDMX) point to one of the causes of the clash between the Potrero and La Raza stations – which caused the death of a young woman and left 106 people injured – the cable theft in the records outside the Line 3 facilities.
The official, however, did not mention the arrest of Carlos Alfredo ‘N’, driver of the train involved in the accident, accused by the Prosecutor’s Office of driving negligently.
As reported by spokesperson Ulises Lara López, despite having to maintain a safety march – with a maximum of 35 kilometers in a straight line – due to problems in the signaling system, the driver switched to Automatic Piloting, reaching a speed of 45 kilometers that 7 from January.
In response, the National Union of Workers of the Collective Transport System (SNTTC) affirmed that the Prosecutor’s Office tries to “attempt to blame the workers for the failures and breakdowns that occur in the facilities and trains that the Metro operates.”
