According to the authorities, at least 10 people were killed after a freight train hit a two -story bus in Mexico.

The accident occurred in an industrial zone on the highway between Atlacomulco, a city about 115 km (71 miles) in the northwest of Mexico City and Maravatio in the state of Michoacan on Monday.

The Office of the Attorney General of the State of Mexico said that seven of the people killed were women and that three were men.

The circumstances surrounding the accident were not immediately clear, although a video circulating online showed that the bus was passing on the railways while waiting in traffic.

Another video, according to the collision, showed the bus to rest on the side of the slopes, with the missing roof. People could be seen to move to the upper level while the train slows down.

“Help me, help me,” you could hear a woman crying.

Rebeca Miranda told the Associated Press news agency that her sister and daughter-in-law of her sister were on the bus when she was struck around 6:30 am (12:30 p.m. GMT).

She said that her sister had been taken to the hospital and had been able to speak, but the other woman died in the accident. She said the two were domestic workers.
