The accident took place on Monday when the car slammed into the passenger bus on a highway in the state of Puebla near Mexico’s Gulf coast, authorities said in a statement.

At least 22 of the victims were killed on the bus, while the other two were the driver and the passenger of the car, who died after their vehicle was consumed by flames.
