Catastrophic event in Mexico leaves ten deceased, multiple individuals injured

In a tragic incident, a collision between a freight train and a double-decker bus has claimed the lives of at least ten people and left over 60 injured. The accident occurred in the municipality of Atlacomulco, approximately 130 kilometers northwest of Mexico City.

According to reports, the incident took place at a railway crossing without any safety measures in place. The double-decker bus moved forward onto the tracks before being struck by the train, as shown in video evidence.

The train involved in the collision is operated by the railway company Canadian Pacific Kansas City. The driver of the tour bus reportedly attempted to cross the tracks ahead of the train, according to the company. Witnesses claim the warning signals were ignored, as reported by media outlets.

The video documentation provides further details about the sequence of events leading up to the accident. It shows the bus waiting at an unguarded railway crossing in heavy traffic. The train pushed the bus sideways after impact.

The Attorney General's Office of the State of Mexico has confirmed the incident, and the investigation is currently underway. The appropriate authorities are examining the evidence to determine the exact cause of the accident.

It is speculated that the incident may have been caused by the driver's failure to adhere to warning signals. However, the investigation is ongoing, and a definitive conclusion has not yet been reached.

Our thoughts are with the families and friends of those affected by this tragedy. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of adhering to safety regulations at railway crossings.
