Eight Dead, Dozens Injured in Tragic Train-Bus Collision Near Mexico City
MEXICO CITY – A devastating collision between a freight train and a double-deck passenger bus northwest of Mexico City on Monday claimed the lives of at least eight people and left 45 injured, authorities confirmed.
The tragic incident occurred in the town of Atlacomulco, where emergency services continue to work at the industrial site. While details surrounding the cause of the crash remain under investigation, social media footage reportedly shows the bus slowly traversing train tracks amidst heavy traffic when it was struck mid-point by a fast-moving train. The impact propelled the bus down the tracks.
Eyewitness accounts and video evidence suggest a lack of visible crossing gates or other warning signals at the intersection. The state of Mexico’s civil defense agency, via X, indicated ongoing efforts at the scene. Another video depicted the aftermath with the bus severely damaged, its roof sheared off, as the train came to a halt.
