On Jan 4th 2018 Mexico's AIB reported the occurrence was rated a serious incident and is being investigated. There were no injuries and no damage.
High speed Turn off B4 is the last of the turn offs about 3200 meters/10,500 feet down the runway.
ATR wrote: "In both Mexico City and Bogota, it’s ATR’s performance in challenging environments which is prized. Both airports are “hot and high” (2,238 m and 2,548 m respectively) so ATR’s boost and super-boost options, on the PW127M and PW127N respectively, are appreciated as they allow the optimal adjustment of thermodynamic performance for specific take-off conditions. And the PW127M engines on the ATR 72-600 have improved net ceiling by up to 1,000 ft (300 m)."
