On a return trip to the Mexico City airport from Quenatero March 16th 2018 at 1045am local, and at the third toll booth from the airport. And while in the roll lane the driver slammed the breaks, causing me to whiplash head first into the seat in front of me. Causing a head ach and bad pain in my neck.
The driver pulled over but not to check on passengers, but to go back to the restroom in the back of the the bus, maybe it was his way to look for uncontrolled bleeding.
I confronted him with the fact I'd been hurt, the passenger in the first row we were in second row right side of the bus saw my head impacting on seat next to him, told the driver in Spanish that I hit my head and was hurt. The driver just shrugged and locked the passenger compartment.
Being cautious and not causing a delay on the airport express run I decided to report the incident to a supervisor at the Airport terminal two.
I took the buses license plate number 70-HA-9H, I observed a female that appeared to be a supervisor talking to the driver, I called to her, but she turned walked away. I use a cane and was unable to chase her down
No other supervisors located.
Due to pain level I had to upgrade to first class for myself and my wife for our flight to Seattle. An added $318.00 cost.
Upon arrival in Seattle my walking was unstable, due to head ach and cervical pain. I took a nasty fall in escalator down to Customs.
The bus incident was the only black mark on a wonderful week in San Miguel de Allende.
My neck is still hurting and most likely will need an MRI to assess if there is further damage due to this incident.
I am pessimistic that the bus company will care about this. But I might consider retaining a lawyer if my condition remains poor. read more
