On the night of October 28, a tragedy shocked the neighbors of the Venustiano Carranza municipality in Mexico City (CDMX), when an eight-year-old child lost his life after being hit by a vehicle. The news of the tragedy spread quickly and generated great consternation among the local residents.
The events occurred in the Arenal Segunda Sección neighborhood, where authorities received an alert about a hit-and-run at the intersection of Mextli and Circunvalación streets. Upon arrival, the police found the child lying on the ground without vital signs. Paramedics confirmed that the minor had suffered a traumatic brain injury, which unfortunately cost him his life.
A family member of the child identified the driver of a red van as the one responsible for the accident.
