Man struck and left near Macroplaza Tijuana

A man was struck by a vehicle and left injured on the roadway outside Macroplaza in Tijuana on Friday, April 17. (tvaztecabajacalifornia.com) TV Azteca Baja California reported the man was still lying in the avenue after the crash, and witnesses recorded video that circulated locally the same day. The outlet said authorities had not publicly identified the driver or released the man’s condition as of its April 17 report. (tvaztecabajacalifornia.com) The crash happened in front of Macroplaza, a busy commercial area along Bulevar Manuel Jesús Clouthier in eastern Tijuana. That corridor carries heavy vehicle traffic and includes a pedestrian bridge near the shopping center. (tvaztecabajacalifornia.com) (el-mexicano.com.mx) The location has appeared in local crash coverage before. In June 2025, El Mexicano reported another man was hit a few meters from the pedestrian bridge beside Macroplaza on the same boulevard. (el-mexicano.com.mx) That earlier case underscores the street-safety question now hanging over Friday’s investigation: whether pedestrians are crossing outside protected areas, whether drivers are speeding through the commercial strip, or both. Public reporting so far has not established fault in the April 17 case. (el-mexicano.com.mx) (tvaztecabajacalifornia.com) Neighbors and bystanders told TV Azteca Baja California they were shaken by seeing the man left on the pavement in front of passing traffic. Their comments centered on the need for safer streets around one of Tijuana’s busiest retail zones. (tvaztecabajacalifornia.com) For now, the basic facts remain limited: one man was hit outside Macroplaza on April 17, video showed him down in the roadway, and authorities had not publicly detailed a suspect, motive, or medical update by the time the initial report was published.
