Luna Parc Plaza Suspended After Facade Panel Falls, Injuring One

The commercial plaza Luna Parc in Cuautitlán Izcalli has been temporarily shut down by local authorities following the detachment of a metal panel from its facade, which resulted in one person being injured.

Mayor Daniel Serrano announced the suspension, stating that the plaza will remain closed until assurances are made that such incidents will not recur. He emphasized that a "responsible construction director" must analyze the building's safety. This is not the first time the plaza has faced such issues; a similar panel detachment occurred on July 8 of last year, prompting a temporary suspension of activities by Civil Protection.

Despite these safety concerns, Serrano noted that the municipality had been lenient with Luna Parc, granting permits and allowing economic activities to continue. The injured individual, a young man, was hospitalized but later discharged. Although the victim chose not to press legal charges against the plaza, the city government will proceed with administrative actions.

Luna Parc is a three-level commercial development covering 65,500 square meters and housing 220 stores. The recent incident occurred on Sunday, July 12, during intense rainfall, when a panel fell from the facade and struck a young man who was present at the location.
