Route Taxi Runs Off Road in Colonia Azteca

A Calafia route taxi ran off Boulevard Insurgentes in Tijuana on Monday morning and ended up on the median in Colonia Azteca. (tvaztecabajacalifornia.com) TV Azteca Baja California reported the crash happened on April 20, 2026, near Jurisdicción Sanitaria II, where municipal police and emergency crews responded. (tvaztecabajacalifornia.com) Other local outlets placed the crash at Boulevard Insurgentes and Avenida Cochimí and said the vehicle struck a pole before stopping on the center median. (elimparcial.com) Baja News reported a preliminary version of events from the scene: a suspected mechanical failure let the unit continue out of control for about 300 meters. The same report said no injuries had been confirmed. (bajanews.mx) Opinia reported the Calafia unit was covering the Mariano–5 y 10 route and was being driven without passengers when it left the roadway. That detail has not appeared in every local report. (opinia.com.mx) The limited and sometimes uneven early reporting reflects how these cases usually unfold in Tijuana: police secure the site first, then investigators sort out whether the trigger was driver error, vehicle failure, road conditions, or a mix of factors. (tvaztecabajacalifornia.com) Boulevard Insurgentes has also seen other recent public-transport crashes. On April 11, another route taxi overturned near Plaza Gran Florido, and local reports said at least 15 people were injured. (elimparcial.com) That earlier crash was also linked in preliminary reporting to a possible mechanical problem, putting fresh attention on vehicle condition and oversight in one of Tijuana’s busiest transit corridors. (afntijuana.info) For now, the clearest confirmed facts are narrow: the Calafia unit left the road on April 20 in Colonia Azteca, authorities responded, and the cause and any injuries were still being clarified in the first reports.
