Mexico Bus Crash Claims 38 Lives, One of Deadliest in Recent Years

A collision between a passenger bus and a truck in Campeche resulted in fatalities and injuries, raising concerns about road safety in Mexico.

The crash occurred early Saturday morning in Campeche, southeastern Mexico, when a truck veered into the lane of a passenger bus, causing a fiery collision.
At least 38 people died, including 36 bus passengers and two truck occupants, with nine others injured, some critically.
Authorities have reported that the identification of victims is challenging due to the condition of the remains, with DNA samples being collected for confirmation.
The bus operator, Tour's Acosta, stated their vehicle was in optimal condition and traveling at a moderate speed, but the collision was unavoidable due to the truck crossing lanes.
The tragedy highlights ongoing issues with road safety in Mexico, where accidents involving poorly maintained trucks and driver fatigue are increasingly common.
