At least 20 people have died - including a number of children - and around 70 were injured after an overpass in Mexico City partially collapsed onto the road on Monday night.
Line 12 of the Mexico City Metro plunged onto a stream of cars near Olivos station below the overpass, which stood around five meters (around 16 feet) above the road
in the southside borough of Tlahuac.
Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum said that "a support beam gave way," explaining it collapsed just as the train passed over it.
