  • A hailstorm caused flooding, traffic disruption and a road collapse in Pachuca, Hidalgo, trapping a private transport bus in a sinkhole.
  • No injuries were reported, while flooding affected southern neighborhoods of Pachuca and nearby Mineral de la Reforma.
  • At least five stations on the Tuzobús trunk route went out of service, and preventive measures extended to Zempoala.

A private transport bus became trapped in a sinkhole in Pachuca after a storm with hail caused flooding and road collapses across Hidalgo’s capital.

The bus had been trying to avoid traffic on Felipe Ángeles Boulevard and moved onto the sidewalks near the Venta Prieta neighborhood. The weight of the vehicle caused the pavement to give way. No one was injured.

The Hidalgo Public Security Secretariat said rain, hail and an electrical storm produced severe flooding in several parts of Pachuca and Mineral de la Reforma, particularly in the southern area. Water accumulation affected neighborhoods there and added to congestion on Felipe Ángeles Boulevard.

The storm also disrupted the Tuzobús system. At least five stations on the main route stopped operating, including Cuna del Fútbol and Estadio Hidalgo. Preventive operations extended to the municipality of Zempoala, where authorities also reported significant flooding.
