On July 21, around midnight (11:30 p.m.), an elderly couple rested in the seats of the unit that made its way from San Luis Potosí to Tamaulipas. A serious situation would take them out of the lethargy of the trip.
The video cameras installed in the two-story means of transport captured a shocking event in the eyes of any human being. Hence we warn regarding the explicitness of the content.
A desperate man made a decision that there was no turning back or sudden braking by the bus driver. In fact, that is part of a story that might have ended differently.
The desperation of the young man who jumped from a moving bus
Various Mexican media, including Aztec Televisiongave an account of this event, one of the most unfortunate that surrounds mental health, or rather the lack of it in human beings.
When the young passenger jumped from a bus, it was being driven by its driver at 90 kilometers per hour.
Speed was not an issue. Everything seemed normal before the tragic event.
However, a man appeared on the scene who broke the glass where the unit’s fire extinguisher lay. With it, he smashed one of the windows to smithereens.
According to the audiovisual record, it took him several seconds to break the glass, but it was enough. to show that you were panicking or hallucinating.
By that time, the elderly passenger couple turned to him, looking at him with extreme confusion.
The passenger is heard yelling at him: “Hey, young man, stop!”. The dialogue between them was scarce. Some time later, he spoke a few words before his fatal decision.
“Come on, let’s go!”
When the young man’s attempt to jump out of the window was more than obvious, the woman appears in the record strongly holding her companion’s arm. They were both still sitting in their respective seats.
No one but them were witnessing everything. A few words were the prelude to the death of the young man who jumped from a bus at full speed.
“Come on, let’s go!”he told the passengers who watched him in astonishment, inviting them to launch as well.
The man insisted to the couple with a “There’s no one, have you seen?”because, according to him, no one was driving the bus.
Seconds later, the tragedy: he threw himself without hesitation into the street. It was clear that the end had come for a desperate person. In moments, another man appeared, coming down quickly from the second floor, but it was already too late.
At the time the young man fell onto the road, the bus was traveling through the area known as Valles-Rioverde. It was where he hit with full force, following jumping out the window of the collective transport.

Fatal discovery of the young man who jumped from a bus
Almost eight hours following a tragedy, the worst was confirmed: the death of the young man who threw himself from a moving bus, around midnight on July 22 last. He was identified only as Luis H.
Televisión Azteca reported in its news that it was the motorists who were traveling through Valles-Rioverde at around 7:30 am, who reported a lifeless body on the road.
Local authorities found shortly following that it was the same young man who decided to jump from the unit in motion.
As expected, when the video went viral reporting the terrible situation, social network users in Mexico began a series of theories regarding the victim’s possible drug use.
The official report, with the help of terrified witnesses, included the man’s apparent hallucinations, which led him to take his own life. He also learned that he thought that the bus was not being driven by anyone, which made him panic.
There was little follow-up on this unfortunate case in Mexican lands. The motorists thought that the deceased had been run over, without suspecting what had happened. The local Prosecutor’s Office investigates with apparent reservations.
Meanwhile, the criticism of the driver was felt, considering that he had to stop the unit and report the event. On the contrary, he kept going until the morning light revealed the last hours of darkness that a human being lived.
