Victims’ families demand answers in deadly Mexico train crash as authorities promise to investigate
Thirteen people died and nearly 110 were injured when a train derailed on a steep curve, prompting an official investigation into possible excessive speed.
- On Sunday, the Interoceanic Train linking Oaxaca and Veracruz derailed near a curve with 250 people on board, killing Thirteen as several cars toppled down a steep hill into dense jungle.
- President Claudia Sheinbaum said she was heading to the region and that the train and infrastructure had been working correctly; officials pledged to prioritize victims and investigate.
- Videos and eyewitnesses show toppled cars and frantic rescues as Baldo Enríquez Antonio said the train was going very fast on the curves, injuring nearly 110 people including his wife Ana Guadalupe Fabre and their son.
- On Monday, survivors and families of the victims demanded answers after Hector Serrano Garcia was overcome with grief when his daughter Luisa was confirmed dead, while Carmen García pleaded on social media for help finding her granddaughter.
- Officials say investigators, not public conjecture, should determine the cause, as Sheinbaum cautioned `we shouldn't speculate` and urged prosecutors to do their job on the rail line connecting the Pacific Ocean with the Gulf of Mexico.
