SUSPECTED drug traffickers dumped 35 bodies at rush hour beneath a busy overpass in the heart of a major city as gunmen pointed weapons at drivers.

Motorists grabbed mobile phones and sent Twitter messages warning others to avoid the area near the biggest shopping centre in Boca del Rio, part of the metropolitan area of Veracruz city.
