Southern Mexico bus ****** kills 41, authorities say

At least 41 people have died in an accident involving a bus in southern Mexico, the government in the state of Tabasco has said.

Images show the bus completely burned out after it was engulfed by flames following the collision which happened in the early hours of Saturday morning near to the small city of Escárcega.

Bus operator Tour’s Acosta said 48 passengers were onboard the vehicle – which had been travelling from Cancun to Tabasco – when it collided with a “trailer”.

Tour’s Acosta added it was “profoundly sorry about what happened” and said it was working with authorities to find out the cause, adding that the bus had been travelling within speed limits.

“The public ministry has informed us that the investigation will be taking effect in the prosecutor’s office of the municipality of Candelaria, Campeche, for this reason the relatives of our passengers and friends will have to go to this department to perform the relevant procedures,” Tour’s Acosta said on
