A clash between a truck carrying a trailer and a van killed 26 people, inluding children, in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas.
As many as 26 people were killed as a tractor-trailer and a van crashed and caught fire in the northern Mexican state of Tamaulipas on Sunday morning, local authorities said. As informed by the Tamaulipas’ public security ministry, the vehicles running on the highway clashed head-on, about half an hour outside of the state capital Ciudad Victoria.
The van belonged to a private transportation business and was carrying passengers, including children. Officials said the truck carrying the trailer was not at the accident site by the time the authorities reached there.
