CUAUTITLAN, Mexico (AP) -- A passenger bus collided with a freight train Thursday in central Mexico, killing at least 16 people, authorities said.
The driver of the bus apparently tried to beat the approaching train at a crossing in the city of Cuautitlan, but was struck and dragged for a distance down the tracks, said Alberto Mena, a spokesman for the public safety department in Mexico state.
Another department spokesman, Salvador Mercado, said at least 16 people were killed and 12 injured, all of them passengers on the bus.
Rescue workers were pulling bodies out of the vehicle's twisted wreckage Thursday morning at the crash site, north of Mexico City.
Authorities said the train was pulling 36 empty wagons at the time, and both the driver and the train conductor were detained for questioning.
