A truck smuggling migrants through Mexico crashed into a bridge, killing 54 Central American migrants and injuring at least 53 others.
The semi-truck trailer contained about 200 people when it crashed in the southern state of Chiapas near the Guatemala border, officials estimated. They believe the weight combined with a curve in the road caused the truck to lose balance and crash into the steel support of a pedestrian bridge, the Associated Press reported.
