Of the 155 motorcyclists who died in the city, 87 cases were from crashes, 66 from skidding and only two cases from being run over.
In 66 deaths of motorcyclists there was no other vehicle involved, while in 32 deaths it was an accident with a light vehicle, 21 with a cargo vehicle, 12 with a fixed object, eight with another motorcycle, seven with a passenger bus, five with a minibus, two with a Metrobús unit and two more with a taxi.
In addition to the deaths, 11,337 motorcyclists were reported injured in traffic events, representing 48% of all people injured by road incidents in the city from January to September 2025. 6,818 motorcyclists were injured due to crashes, plus 4,326 in skids and 189 in collisions, only three due to rollovers and one person injured due to a fall.
Despite actions such as the implementation of a special driver’s license for motorcyclists that requires passing a theoretical and driving exam implemented since 2024, in Mexico City the deaths of motorcycle users have tended to increase, although with a decrease in 2025 compared to the deaths of motorcyclists in 2024.
A similar problem has arisen with the number of injured motorcyclists, which has increased since 2019 and has remained more or less stable since 2022.
