Rains leave loads and damage on roads in Iztapalapa and Coyoacán; vehicles are affected

Heavy rains on Friday caused flooding, fallen trees, and damage to vehicles across several areas of Mexico City, particularly in the boroughs of Iztapalapa and Coyoacán. Flooding was reported along streets such as Canal de Tezontle, Avenida Javier Rojo Gómez, and Calzada Ignacio Zaragoza, where water accumulation reached up to 10 centimeters in depth. In some locations, such as Colonia 12 de Diciembre, the drainage system overflowed, creating large puddles that required intervention by civil protection teams using hydraulic equipment to remove standing water. Similar issues were observed in other neighborhoods like San Andrés Tomatlán and Santiago Acahualtepec, where drainage saturation led to vehicle being stuck in flooded areas. Additionally, a cave-like erosion hole was discovered after the waters receded, likely due to a broken drainage pipe. In Coyoacán, a tree fell onto La Virgen Avenue, while a six-meter branch damaged a car in Iztapalapa.
