A passenger bus lost control and veered off the road and into a 25-metre-deep gully in southern Mexico, killing at least 29 passengers, an official says.
The crash occurred in the largely indigenous Mixteca region of the southern state of Oaxaca.
The state’s Interior Secretary, Jesús Romero, said 29 people had died in the crash, including a one-year-old. He said about 20 people were injured in the accident, some very seriously.
Romero said the bus driver apparently lost control of the vehicle and plunged into the gully.
“It appears that a lack of skill and tiredness caused the accident,” Romero said in remarks to a local television station.
