Mexico promises probe into ‘terrible’ metro collapse

At least 23 people were killed and 70 were injured when a train and overpass collapsed in Mexico City.

A full investigation will be carried out into the causes of an overpass collapse that killed at least 23 people when one of Mexico City’s iconic orange metro trains plunged onto a busy road below, the city’s mayor Claudia Sheinbaum has said. Two train carriages precariously hung from the damaged overpass after the accident late on Monday, and rescue efforts were suspended with authorities worried that more train parts and debris could slam down onto the road. Sheinbaum said it was too soon to say who was responsible for what happened.
