At least 19 people have died in a passenger bus accident in Mexico.

The accident occurred on Saturday, October 26, on a highway in the central state of Zacatecas.

According to a CNN report, a tractor-trailer carrying corn crashed into the rear of the bus, causing it to lose control and plunge off the road.

Initially, authorities reported 24 fatalities, but the number was later revised to 19. Six injured passengers were taken to a hospital for treatment.

The bus was traveling toward Ciudad Juárez, a city in the border state of Chihuahua, but no migrants were among the victims.

The driver of the tractor-trailer has been arrested, and police have launched an investigation.

Road accidents are unfortunately common in Mexico. In December 2021, a tragic truck accident in Chiapas province killed 54 people, with the vehicle carrying around 166 passengers.
