Ten people were killed and 61 injured on Monday morning when a cargo train crashed into a double-decker passenger bus in central Mexico, media reports said on Tuesday.
The accident occurred in the industrial zone of the Atlacomulco municipality, which is roughly a two-hour drive northwest of Mexico City. The bus was headed from a small town in Mexico State to Mexico City, according to local reports.
The state attorney general’s office was investigating the accident. It said that seven women and three men had died at the scene.
Reuters quoted the railway company (CPKCM) as saying 61 injured people were transferred to local hospitals and the condition of a number of them was said to be critical.
Reuters attributed the accident to driver’s negligence.
