"Adela Legarreta Rivas atropellada por un Datsun" (1979, English title: "Adela Legarreta Rivas is struck by a white Datsun on Avenida Chapultepec, Mexico City, 29 April 1979") is a famous photo by Enrique Metinides of the corpse of journalist Adela Legarreta Rivas, who has just been hit and killed by a car.
She is seen with her eyes still open and wedged between two telephone poles. She is freshly made up and her hair styled, on her way to a press conference on her latest book. To the right, there is an emergency worker just before he places a cloth to cover the body.
The photo was taken on the corner of Avenida Chapultepec and Calle Monterrey in Ciudad de México.
