KABUL (Pajhwok): Nineteen people have been killed and six others injured as a result of a traffic accident in Mexico on Sunday.
Reuters reported: “The accident occurred in the early morning hours when a bus carrying the victims collided with the back of a tractor-trailer carrying corn, which had come loose”.
“Zacatecas Governor David Monreal earlier on Saturday had initially reported a preliminary death toll of 24 people, but the state attorney general's office later revised the tally in a statement”.
Efforts were ongoing on Saturday morning to recover some of the bodies that had fallen into a ravine, a local government official who asked not to be named told Reuters.
According to reports, the bus was carrying 25 passengers.
