A motorcyclist suffered minor injuries this morning after being struck by a car driven by a U.S. citizen on Playa del Carmen Boulevard. The accident occurred when the driver failed to stop at a stop sign at the intersection with 34th Avenue.
Witnesses indicated that the motorcyclist had the right of way at the time of the collision. Despite injuries to his leg, the man was evaluated by paramedics at the scene and did not require hospitalization, suggesting that his injuries were minor.
In addition to the impact, the motorcycle suffered a gasoline leak due to a ruptured fuel line. This caused concern among bystanders, but emergency services responded quickly to prevent further incidents.
The Traffic Department took charge of the incident, impounding both the car and the motorcycle for transport to a tow yard. An accident report is expected to be filed, and the process for determining the corresponding damages will begin.
Local authorities reiterate the importance of respecting traffic signals to ensure the safety of all users of public roads.
