Deadly road accidents are common in Mexico, often due to high speeds, poor vehicle conditions or driver fatigue. Crashes involving freight trucks have also increased on the country’s highways. Road crashes are a leading cause of deaths among migrants making the dangerous journey overland to the United States.
In one of the worst accidents in recent years, at least 29 people were killed in July 2023 when a passenger bus careened off a mountain road and plummeted into a ravine in the southern state of Oaxaca.
