23 people and injuring about 70, city authorities said.
Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum said 49 of the injured were hospitalised, and that seven were in serious condition and undergoing surgery. There are unfortunately children among the dead, Sheinbaum said, without specifying how many.
Rescuers searched a car left dangling from the overpass for hours for anyone who might be trapped.
Those efforts were suspended early Tuesday, however, because of safety concerns for those working near the precariously dangling car. A crane was brought in to help shore it up. We don t know if they are alive, Sheinbaum said of the people possibly trapped inside the subway car.
