Cancun, Q.R. — The driver of a Cancun taxi who caused city infrastructure damage during an accident fled the scene. The driver left the car, abandoning it on the public road Tuesday morning before police arrived.
Transit officers were made aware of the accident shortly before 7:00 a.m. when city motorists reported the single vehicle accident in the Cancun Hotel Zone.
Once there, they located a heavily damaged city cab but no driver. The taxi was found blocking one lane of Kukulcán Boulevard after being left partially up on a sidewalk. The cab slammed into several structures before being stopped by a metal pedestrian railing belonging to the city.
The taxi was extensively damaged, having lost both front tires. City Transit are looking for the driver of the cab using area surveillance cameras.
