TIJUANA, Mexico (January 3, 2010)—At least 14 people were killed and 21 others injured in a bus wreck in northern Mexico, authorities said.
The bus was traveling along a treacherously winding stretch of highway before dawn when it veered off the road at high speed and plunged over the cliff halfway between the border cities of Tijuana and Mexicali, police said.
According to Baja California prosecutors, the bus fell about 330 feet and broke in two, scattering luggage, seats and passengers along the slope below the highway.
The cause of the crash is under investigation.
One man who was injured in the crash told investigators the bus appeared to have brake trouble before the wreck and quoted the driver as saying a mechanic would be available in Mexicali.
The bus was carrying farm workers and their families home from work.

I do feel sorry for these people, BUT, this is an example of why we don't need Mexican trucks on our roadways. Vehicles in Mexico are not required the same inspections and maintenance as those we have to comply with in this country.
Well it's bad, but no better than they maintain their buses/vehicles it's not surprising.
