PUEBLA, Mexico (AFP) — Rescuers pulled more bodies, including children, on Thursday from the wreckage of a bus swallowed by a landslide in Mexico which may have killed up to 60 people, local authorities said.
Emergency workers, who spent the night digging up the bus with the help of the army, said they had recovered a total 14 bodies at the site of the accident in the central state of Puebla.
They earlier expressed little hope of recovering any survivors among the bus's passengers.
The first body, of a 40-year-old woman, was recovered by rescuers late Wednesday more than 12 hours after the accident, the governor of Puebla Mario Marin announced.
