The collapse happened on one of the newest of Mexico City subway’s lines, line 12. Line 12 goes deep into the city’s south side. It runs underground in the more central areas but then runs on elevated lines in the city’s outskirts.

It was a support beam that gave way as the train passed over it which caused it to crash onto the busy road, in the borough of Tlahuac, about 16 feet below.
