Bus Crash on Outskirts of Mexico City Kills at Least 14

A bus crash on the outskirts of Mexico City has killed at least 14 people and injured dozens more. The crash occurred on a highway near the town of Ecatepec, about 15 miles northeast of the city. The cause of the crash is under investigation.

The bus was carrying passengers from the central Mexican state of Guanajuato to Mexico City. The bus collided with a tractor-trailer, causing it to overturn and catch fire. The fire spread to the bus, engulfing it in flames.

Emergency crews responded to the scene and worked to extinguish the fire. They were able to rescue some passengers from the burning bus, but many others were trapped inside. The bodies of the deceased have been taken to a local morgue, and the injured have been transported to nearby hospitals.

The crash is the latest in a series of deadly bus accidents in Mexico. In October, a bus crash in the southern state of Chiapas killed 55 people. In September, a bus crash in the central state of Puebla killed 19 people.
