Sharjah 24 – AFP: A bus transporting mostly Venezuelan migrants crashed in central Mexico on Tuesday, leaving at least 15 people dead and 36 injured, authorities said.
The vehicle collided with a trailer on a highway connecting the states of Puebla and Oaxaca, the Puebla government said on social media platform X, formerly called Twitter.
"Unfortunately 15 people lost their lives and 36 more were injured," it said.
Oaxaca Governor Salomon Jara said that he had instructed authorities in the southern state to provide support to the injured.
"We send a hug and our condolences to the families of the deceased," he wrote on social media.
Deadly road accidents are common in Mexico, usually due to high speeds, poor vehicle conditions or driver fatigue.
Such crashes are a leading cause of deaths among migrants making the dangerous journey overland to the United States.
