21 killed in road crash in central Mexico
PUEBLA: A fiery multi-vehicle crash involving a trailer truck and a bus killed at least 21 people in central Mexico on Wednesday, authorities said.
Eighteen people died at the scene and three more in hospital, Samuel Aguilar, an official with the Puebla state government, told reporters.
An unspecified number of injured were being treated in local hospitals, he said.
Images published by Mexican media showed thick black smoke billowing from wreckage strewn along the highway connecting Puebla with the southern state of Oaxaca.
Road accidents in Mexico have multiplied in recent years, often due to poor vehicle maintenance, dangerous driving or motorist fatigue.
Many of the crashes have involved freight trucks, leading to calls for better safety standards on the country's congested highways.
In one of the deadliest incidents, a collision between a truck and a bus killed 38 people in the southeastern state of Campeche on February 8.
In March, more than 30 people were killed in two separate bus crashes on the same day, including a collision between a tractor-trailer and a bus carrying passengers from the US state of Texas.

Mexico to Continue Negotiations With US on Tariff Issues, Says President
MEXICO CITY, May 23 (Bernama-Xinhua) -- After a phone conversation with her US counterpart, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum decided Thursday to continue negotiating the tariff issue concerning the steel, aluminium and automotive sectors, Xinhua reported. At her daily press conference, Sheinbaum said while the conversation did not focus on the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which will be reviewed in 2026, it did address issues in key sectors such as the automotive industry, as well as steel and aluminium exports. "In principle, we continue to talk about trade and tariffs. Remember that we, in the case of the automotive (sector), have a very preferential situation for Mexico, although we would still like more ... and we continue working on steel and aluminium," she said.
