A motorcyclist lost a leg after being hit by a vehicle, apparently gray, which then fled. Both were riding on the streets of the San Antonio Xluch neighborhood.

Paramedics from the Secretaría de Seguridad Pública arrived at 127 and 68 to give first aid to the man who was screaming in pain after being thrown several meters after the impact.

The injured man was driving on 127th Street and meters before reaching the intersection he was hit by the driver of a gray vehicle who sent him several meters forward, causing the fragmentation and amputation of his left leg, and then fled the scene with the vehicle, whose front left tire was punctured.

After the serious accident, neighbors in the area quickly notified the emergency number 911, and paramedics arrived at the scene who quickly stabilized the vehicle and later transferred him to the General Hospital Agustin O’Horan.

Also, elements of the Secretariat of Public Safety (SSP) arrived and implemented a police operation to try to locate the cause of the accident, however, at the time of writing, they had not been able to find the alleged perpetrator, so everything was left in the hands of a traffic expert.

A relative of the man was also present at the scene, and it was said that at the time of the accident he was on his way home, and due to the severe injury his life was in danger, so they had to amputate his leg and fragment his bones as a matter of urgency.

The motorcycle was damaged at the rear and unofficially it was learned that the driver of the other vehicle collided with another vehicle while escaping, but he did not stop.
