Bus crash kills 63 in Mexico

By Afp, Veracruz
At least 63 people died Monday after a bus they were riding veered off a mountain road in central Mexico and fell down a ravine, authorities said.

"We have 63 people confirmed dead," Ranulfo Marquez, head of regional rescue services, told W Radio. "Three (men) survived, they are in critical condition."

Marquez called the accident among the worst along this stretch of roadway, considered one of the most notorious in Mexico for its treacherous curves and steep ravines.
