On Monday, June 15, 2026, around 8:00 p.m., a woman working as a motorcycle delivery rider was seriously injured in Tehuacán after being hit by a blue Ford F-150 truck. The driver, allegedly responsible for an earlier traffic accident, tried to escape the scene but ended up running over the woman before fleeing.

The incident took place at the intersection of 24 Sur Street and Calzada Adolfo López Mateos. Witnesses say the woman stopped after the initial collision to talk with the driver, but he chose to drive off. When she stood in front of the truck to block his escape, he pushed her several meters and ran her over before disappearing.

Her fellow delivery riders quickly mobilized, sharing the truck’s details—license plate PBN-19-07—across social media and community groups to help locate the suspect. Paramedics from the Red Cross arrived promptly to provide first aid and transported her to a hospital for further evaluation. Authorities have launched an investigation into the hit-and-run.

This event highlights ongoing challenges in road safety and accountability in Tehuacán. For migrant workers and delivery riders, who often face precarious conditions, incidents like this underscore the urgent need for better protection and infrastructure. As Puebla plans to expand cable car systems like the Cablebús, which promise safer, more reliable urban transport, such investments could reduce dangerous street-level conflicts and improve mobility for vulnerable communities.
