On Monday, September 8, in Atlacomulco, in the northwest Mexico City, a train with a double inserted bus collided and reported, according to the authorities.
The state of Mexican agencies for civilian defense has taken the X and said that emergency crews are still working at the accident site located in an industrial zone with numerous warehouses and a factory.
Officials have not yet explained how the accident occurred, but it seems that the video circulating on social media shows a bus that crawls heavy traffic when it slowly crossed the train lines. Suddenly a speed train enters the frame and hits the bus in the middle, pushing it along the tracks and finally out of sight.

No gate cross or warning signals were visible in the shots. Moments in front of the collision show other vehicles that pass in the footsteps when the traffic moves forward.
A separate subsequent video shows the bus, heavily damaged and resting beside the tracks, with its roof destroyed. People were seen on the upper deck when the train gradually stopped.
