width="850" height="555"> The accident was caused by 'structural
faults associated with deficiencies in the construction process,'
says a preliminary report. </p>
<p>The collapse of an elevated section of the Metro in Mexico City
last month that killed 26 was caused by a series of faults during
construction, according to the preliminary results of an
independent inquiry.</p>
<p>The findings could deal a blow to foreign minister and
presidential hopeful Marcelo Ebrard, who was the capital’s mayor
when the line was built, and Carlos Slim, Mexico’s richest man,
whose Carso Infrastructure and Construction company built the
infrastructure.</p>
<p>Slim, one of the closest businesspeople to President López
Obrador, is also building part of the president’s flagship Maya
Train in the Yucatán peninsula.</p>
<p>According to the report from Norwegian group DNV, made public at
a news conference on Wednesday, the accident was caused by
“structural faults associated with deficiencies in the
construction process.”</p>
