Alert – Mexico: 12 reported dead as foreign tourist bus crashes in Mexico

At least 12 people are dead and others injured after a tour bus carrying several American tourists flipped over on a highway in Mexico.

According to CBS News:

Passengers from two Miami-based Royal Caribbean cruise ships, the Celebrity Equinox and Serenade of the Seas, were on board the bus when it overturned on a two-lane highway. Seven Americans and two citizens of Sweden are among the injured. The crash occurred as the bus was on its way to the ruins at Chacchoben, about 110 miles south of Tulum.

According to ABC:

Twenty-seven passengers from both cruise ships were on the bus during the crash, Royal Caribbean said in a statement, adding it was working with local authorities to get more information about the accident.

“Our hearts go out to all those involved. We are doing all we can to care for our guests, including assisting with medical care and transportation,” the company said.

The cause of the accident is under investigation.
