An elderly man has died in Monterrey, Nuevo León, after being struck by a trailer. The incident occurred at the intersection of Ruiz Cortines and José Ángel Conchello avenues in the Victoria neighborhood.

According to the footage analysis, a young man walking in the area approached the elderly man and allegedly shoved him, causing him to lose his balance. The elderly man then fell into the path of an oncoming trailer on Ruiz Cortines Avenue, resulting in fatal injuries.

The suspect reportedly fled the scene immediately after the alleged assault. Investigations are ongoing to locate the individual and determine his responsibility in the man's death.
