Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo — A maintenance worker died early Monday after being struck by an SUV while trying to cross a boulevard near Calles 94 and 96.
According to initial reports, the victim was performing maintenance work in the area when a woman, approximately 24 years old, driving an SUV hit him as he attempted to cross the road.
The worker died at the scene, his body lying on the asphalt. A colleague remained at the site until emergency services and authorities arrived.
