A Norwegian tourist recently claimed to be the victim of an attempted hit-and-run at Cancún Airport, accusing airport transporters of the alleged assault. However, local authorities have refuted these claims, stating that the woman was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the incident.
The Secretary of Public Safety for Quintana Roo clarified that the situation was likely a misunderstanding. Security camera footage from the airport showed no evidence of an assault taking place.
While Cancún Airport is not under local jurisdiction, the safety and well-being of both tourists and residents remain a priority. This incident has brought attention to ongoing debates about the high fees charged by airport transporters.
