Bus Crash in Zacatecas, Mexico Kills 19

A tragic bus crash in Zacatecas, Mexico, resulted in the deaths of 19 people and injuries to six others. Initially reported by Governor David Monreal as having 24 fatalities, the death toll was later revised by the state attorney general’s office. The accident occurred early Saturday when the bus collided with a tractor-trailer that had lost its cargo of corn. Investigations are underway to locate the driver of the tractor-trailer, and efforts are being made to recover bodies that fell into a ravine. The bus was en route to Ciudad Juarez, but authorities confirmed that the victims were not migrants. Road accidents have been increasingly common in Mexico, highlighting a troubling trend in public safety.
