At least 49 people, most of them migrants from Central America, died in a trailer crash in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas, officials said on Thursday, in one of the worst road accidents to hit the country in recent years.
The accident occurred when a large trailer overturned on a dangerous curve outside the city of Tuxtla Gutierrez, said Luis Manuel Garcia, head of the Chiapas civil protection agency.
The fatalities included men, women and children, added Garcia, speaking in an interview with Milenio Television
