Driver who ran over motorcyclist in Iztapalapa fled for a month; where was she hiding?

The driver, Gaby β€˜N’, who fled after fatally hitting a motorcyclist in Iztapalapa, has been apprehended more than a month later in Oaxaca.

On February 10, 2023, the General Prosecutor's Office of Mexico City reported the arrest of Gaby β€˜N’, a woman who had fled following a tragic accident on January 3, 2023, where she ran over and dragged motorcyclist Roberto HernΓ‘ndez for several streets in Iztapalapa until his death. The police were able to locate Gaby β€˜N’ in Oaxaca after a month-long manhunt following the incident that shocked the local community.

The incident occurred at the intersection of PerifΓ©rico Oriente and Eje 6 Sur, when Gaby’s vehicle struck the motorcyclist, who was 52 years old, and then drove off without stopping. Other drivers on the road witnessed the aftermath and recorded the vehicle's strange trail, which was leaving visible signs of the horrific incident. The lack of immediate action from Gaby β€˜N’ has raised significant public outrage and concern regarding road safety and accountability.

Gaby β€˜N’’s arrest comes as a relief to many who have been following the case, highlighting the importance of justice in severe traffic accidents. This case has broader implications for discussion around driver responsibility and the legal repercussions for individuals involved in fatal accidents, as the conduct exhibited by Gaby β€˜N’ contradicts expectations for accountability and support for victims and their families in such tragic circumstances.
