In the early hours of Friday, June 5, 2026, a municipal ambulance from Puebla\u2019s Civil Protection service overturned on Boulevard Atlixco near the Emiliano Zapata neighborhood. <\/p>\n
The emergency vehicle was reportedly speeding with its siren on while traveling in the dedicated bus lane of the federal highway toward Perif\u00e9rico Ecol\u00f3gico. Witnesses say the ambulance left the exclusive lane, and upon re-entering, lost control, jumped the median, and flipped, ending up facing Boulevard del Ni\u00f1o Poblano. <\/p>\n
Three people were injured in the accident. Passersby rushed to assist the ambulance crew before additional emergency units arrived to provide medical support. It remains unclear whether the ambulance was transporting a patient or responding to a call at the time. <\/p>\n
