MEXICO: Nineteen people have died and 32 injured after a bus carrying people to a religious site in Mexico crashed into a house.
The Friday crash is thought to have happened after the brakes on the bus failed, causing it to smash into a building, local media reported.
The bus was on a highway in the township of Joquicingo, in Mexico State, about 45 miles outside of Mexico City, when it crashed.
At least 10 ambulances attended the scene, with several passengers airlifted to hospital, CNN reported.
The state confirmed that a child under four years old was among the injured who had been taken to nearby hospitals.
The bus was heading from the western state of Michoacan to Chalma, a town that has been visited by Roman Catholic pilgrims for centuries.
There was no immediate information on the condition of the injured passengers. Many Mexicans go on religious pilgrimages as December 12, the day of the Virgin of Guadalupe, approaches. – YAHOO NEWS
