At least 16 people were killed on the morning of Thursday, Sept. 2, when a passenger bus and two trailer trucks collided on the Sonoyta-San Luis Rio Colorado highway in Mexico’s northern state of Sonora, the state’s Attorney General’s Office said.

Another 22 people were injured, six seriously, the office said on Twitter.

The National Guard reported that the accident occurred at about 5:00 a.m. local time and the victims had received “the support of emergency service personnel.”
