“Before the accident I did not hear any indication that I should stop or stop, this was derived from the signaling failure, automatic piloting, centralized control, I cannot understand how all this happened,” he added.
Regarding the payment that the Metro Collective Transportation System asks of him for 260 million pesos, he stated that it is something that exceeds him and alarms him a lot, since he maintained, he lives from day to day and the salary he receives for his work — of approximately 10,000 pesos a month — only It is enough to cover your expenses and no more.
“I am a father, I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child, that fact is very unfortunate, I cannot imagine his pain, also with all the victims I know that this fact is very unfortunate…
This pity of the parents of this young woman (Yaretzi, fatal victim of the accident), I am very sorry for the facts, it is not that I wanted to do it like that, it was not my fault, I did the best I could with what I had, I am very sorry for that loss, I hope they find prompt resignation and justice”.
Carlos Alfredo, Metro driver involved in the L3 accident.
Prior to the hearing to link Carlos to the process, Christopher Estupiñanlawyer for the young Yaretzi’s family, announced that since the Collective Transport System participated as a victim and assumed responsibility for the lack of maintenance of the facilities, the control judge would be asked to annul the process against Carlos “N ”.
The defender criticized that the Metro Collective System does not assume its responsibility and instead, blames the drivers for the incidents that occur in its facilities.
“It is an investigation in a fashion, steamy and made to please a political whim, it cannot be possible that they place all the responsibility on a person who is nothing more than a worker in a vulnerable condition,” he warned.
While after the hearing, Edgar Fabian Hidalgolawyer for the Metro driver, declared that the link to the process for the crimes of homicide and negligent injury are “disproportionate” measures since his client does not have the resources to pay said amount and due to his state of health he cannot give himself to the drain.
In addition, he revealed that the government of Mexico City also demands a payment from Carlos Alfredo for 125,000 pesos as reparation for damage to 18 people who were injured by the train crash.
During the six months of the time that the control judge gave for the continuation and closure of the complementary investigation, Carlos Alfredo will have surveillance in the hospital where he is convalescing for an operation on his legs and later at his home, as soon as he is discharged. .
