Driver flees leaving cab among damaged infrastructure in Cancun Hotel Zone

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.

The taxi was extensively damaged, having lost both front tires. City Transit are looking for the driver of the cab using area surveillance cameras.
