A woman was killed after being struck by a vehicle in the Venustiano Carranza borough, according to authorities. The incident occurred in the intersection of streets General González Novoa and General Benigno Serratos, in the Damián Carmona neighborhood. The driver fled the scene but was later located and arrested by officers from the City Security Department (SSC). The accident took place during a collision involving a gray-colored car that ended up crashing into a tree. Police were called following reports of a crash. Upon arrival, they found a woman trapped between the tree and the vehicle. Medical personnel confirmed she had no vital signs remaining, prompting the area to be cordoned off and notification sent to the Public Prosecutor’s Office to begin investigations. The driver left the vehicle after the incident. With assistance from cameras at the North Command and Control Center (C2), police established a digital perimeter that allowed them to locate the suspected perpetrator at the intersection of streets 6 de Marzo and Felipe Ángeles, in the Revolution neighborhood. The man, aged 35, was detained, informed of his rights, and placed under the authority of a prosecutor along with the seized vehicle, where his legal status will be determined. Authorities have not yet released the identity of the victim or further details regarding her condition prior to the incident. The case has been handed over to the Public Prosecutor’s Office for formal investigation. No information has been provided about potential witnesses or the circumstances leading to the collision. The location of the incident, near residential areas, raises concerns about road safety and emergency response times. Local officials have not issued statements beyond confirming the arrest and the ongoing investigation. The vehicle involved is currently under examination to determine whether it was operating within legal parameters. The arrest of the driver marks the immediate resolution of the incident, though the broader implications remain unclear. The death of the woman underscores the need for continued efforts to improve traffic safety measures and ensure prompt medical intervention in such cases. Further details about the victim's background or any previous incidents involving the suspect are not available at this time.
