translated from Spanish: Avoided Metro driver cars being dragged into Line 12 collapse: union

Mexico City.- The convoy driver who collapsed on the night of May 3 after a stretch of Mexico City Metro Line 12 collapsed, knew how to respond in time and brake, thereby preventing the unit from being dragged by the two downing wagons, so he prevented the tragedy from being even greater. However, the chauffeur had to be hospitalized due to a nervous breakdown that ensoted after the accident. In an interview with Milenio Television, the leader of the Collective Transport System Union (STC), he reported that the railway incident was a “major scare,” since the packing of the two wagons may have caused the convoy to be dragged, however, both he and his team responded by braking and, with it, were not towed by the two tanks that went down.

The union leader also reported that the union seeks to present a scientific study that exposes the faults of the Line that goes from Mixcoac to Tláhuac to the head of government of Mexico City, Claudia Sheinbaum, with the aim of proposing solutions for it. Fernando Espino pointed out that what they want is to hear the workers working in the Metro while also not firing the engineers and technicians that have been forged in the Collective Transport System.Until now, they total 25 fatalities of the collapse of a section of Metro Line 12, while dozens remain hospitalized in different nosocomios.
