At least 10 people have been killed after a freight train hit a double-decker bus in Mexico, according to authorities
The crash occurred in an industrial zone on the highway between Atlacomulco, a town about 115km (71 miles) northwest of Mexico City, and Maravatio in the Michoacan state on Monday.
Images from the crash showed portions of the top deck of the bus smashed in and its metal frame badly dented. First responders were on the scene and cordoned off the area.
The State of Mexico’s attorney general’s office said that seven of those killed were women and three were men.
The circumstances surrounding the crash were not immediately clear, although a video circulating online showed the bus inching across the train tracks as it waited in traffic.
