MEXICO CITY — At least eight people were killed and 27 others injured after a passenger bus collided with a semi-trailer truck early Friday in eastern Mexico, local authorities said.

The collision occurred on the Perote-Xalapa highway near Los Molinos in the eastern state of Veracruz, killing three men, four women and one minor, the Veracruz State Attorney General’s Office said.

This tragic crash came just a day after another traffic accident in the western state of Michoacan, where at least six people lost their lives.
