A 25-year-old man was run over by a bus from the metropolitan Metrobus system of Mexico City, over main Insurgentes avenue in the nearby area of the pyramidal La Raza monument.





According to the authorities, around 3:35 p.m., the man identified only as 25-year-old tried to cross the avenue, where the Metrobus runs on a special lane on the left side of the street. Also, there are no pedestrian bridges in the area.

The 43-year-old driver, Marco Antonio, was unable to stop and ended up running over the jaywalker.
