Nineteen people died and six others were injured when a bus crashed on a highway in Mexico’s central state of Zacatecas yesterday, local authorities said.
The accident occurred in the early morning hours when the bus carrying the victims collided with the back of a tractor-trailer carrying corn, which had come loose.
Zacatecas Governor David Monreal had initially reported a preliminary death toll of 24 people, but the state attorney general’s office later revised the tally in a statement.
The attorney general’s office said it was ‘carrying out investigations to arrest the driver’ of the tractor-trailer.
Efforts were ongoing to recover some of the bodies that had fallen into a ravine, a local government official who asked not to be named said.
