The noise of the traffic became a sentence, in the middle of Sunday morning the Toluca-Atlacomulco It was the scene of an atrocious and repeated death. A man, still unidentified, tried to cross the expressway and ended up becoming a multiple victim: first rammed, then run over again and again by vehicles that failed to stop or never saw him lying down.
According to versions collected at the scene, the pedestrian crossed at the height of San Cayetano, a few meters from a pedestrian bridge. A car traveling at speed hit him head on and he fled. The body was left on the rails. What followed was a chain of sharp blows, tires passing, metal and flesh, a sequence that those present describe as “a horror movie.”
“We heard the first blow and then several more, in a row, without stopping,” said a motorist with a broken voice. “The traffic was coming fast; some couldn’t stop, some didn’t even notice. It was horrible.” Another witness, from a nearby business, said that he saw “how the body was dragged and hit the asphalt again.”
When SUEM paramedics arrived, there was nothing to do. They confirmed the death and left with shocked looks. Police cordoned off the scene to allow forensic work. The pavement was marked by fluids and debris, a macabre trail that forced circulation to be partially closed.
Outrage grew among neighbors and drivers. “That bridge is there, but almost no one uses it,” said a dismayed merchant. “Today we saw the price. Nobody deserves to end up like this.” Others demanded greater signage and speed control on a stretch known for accidents.
The Mexican Prosecutor’s Office opened an investigation file to identify the victim and locate the first driver, whose escape places him as a key piece of the case. Cameras and testimonies will be decisive. Meanwhile, the traffic flowed again, erasing traces, but not the image: a repeated death under the roar of the engines.
