Brake failure on bus may have lead to 60 deaths

A bus carrying Mexican tourists plunged off a 650ft cliff today, killing at least 60 people in a crash police said could have been caused by brake failure on the steep mountainous roads.

Three people were injured in the crash that came as the bus travelled from the western city of Guadalajara to the Gulf coast state of Tabasco following Easter week. The number of dead could rise.
