At least 10 migrants lost their lives and 25 others sustained injuries earlier today when a cargo truck, transporting them clandestinely, was overturned on a highway in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas, AFP reported. 

According to local officials, the ill-fated accident transpired on a stretch of highway along the Pacific coast, situated between the towns of Pijijiapan and Tonala. This region has long been a common route for migrants attempting to make their way to the United States.

All of the victims of the accident were reportedly Cuban women, including one minor, AFP reported, citing an anonymous source in the prosecutor's office.

Back in August, a bus carrying largely Venezuelan migrants collided with a freight truck in central Mexico on Tuesday, killing at least 15 people and injuring 36.

The collision occurred on a highway leading south into Oaxaca state. Migrant smugglers regularly utilize this route, and accidents involving smugglers' cars are prevalent in Mexico because they frequently utilize risky vehicles and drivers, squeeze too many migrants in, or attempt to elude authorities.

Migrants regularly utilize trucks and buses to cross the border into the United States.

In 2021, a truck transporting migrants collapsed on a highway near Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Mexico, killing 56 people.
