A bus accident in Veracruz led to the deaths of 43 people and injuring dozens more. According to the local police department, the accident was caused by a cargo truck carrying a heavy load of sorghum.
The bus was behind the cargo truck on a highway when the trailer separated from the truck. It crashed into the passenger bus which was carrying over 60 people at the time of the bus accident. The bus was traveling from Coatzacoalcos to Coahuila. After the truck driver realized what had happened, he got out of his vehicle and ran away on foot. He has yet to be captured by the authorities.
Veracruz is well known as being Mexico's third most populous state, and since it borders the United States, serves as a point of contact between the two countries. If you have recently been hurt in a bus accident, you should consider seeking legal counsel if you hope to file a lawsuit. Take the time to discuss your unique situation with a personal injury attorney in your area to learn what your rights are as a victim.
