KEY POINTS:
MEXICO CITY - A bus fell down a 100-meter-high cliff in western Mexico, killing nine passengers and injuring 25, emergency workers said yesterday.
The accident occurred on Monday evening (local time) in the Pacific coast state of Nayarit, when the bus was hit by a van and knocked off the road, a local Red Cross official said.
Emergency workers worked until dawn and survivors were taken to nearby hospitals.
The bus had been rented by a private group from the southern state of Jalisco that was on its way home after visiting the beach town of Guayabitos in Nayarit state.
Mexico's hazardous roads mean fatal bus accidents are common.
