Among the 15 killed were four children, prosecutors in Mexico’s Pacific coast state of Nayarit, where the tragedy occurred, said, NBC News reported. The cause of the crash is currently unknown and under investigation, but the outlet noted that previous, similar accidents were caused by speeding, bad weather, poor highway conditions, or poor maintenance of rental buses.
