Bus Crash in Central Mexico Kills 19

Nineteen people were killed and six others injured in a bus crash on a highway in Zacatecas, central Mexico, on Saturday. The crash occurred in the early morning when the bus collided with the back of a tractor-trailer carrying corn, which had detached from the vehicle.

Zacatecas Governor David Monreal initially reported a death toll of 24, but the state attorney general’s office later revised the figure to 19.

The attorney general’s office is investigating and has launched efforts to apprehend the tractor-trailer driver. Rescue teams were working to recover bodies from a ravine near the crash site.

The bus was en route to Ciudad Juarez, near the US-Mexico border, and authorities confirmed that none of the victims were migrants.
