Some 250 people, including 241 passengers and nine crew members, were on board the train, according to details released by the Mexican Navy.

At least 13 people were killed, the navy said, with 98 injured - including 36 who needed hospital medical assistance. President Claudia Sheinbaum said on X that five of the injured are in a critical condition.
During extensive search and rescue operations, the navy said it deployed a total of 360 personnel, 20 vehicles, four ground ambulances, three air ambulances, and one tactical drone.

Footage from the scene shows emergency workers helping passengers disembark, and some of the injured being carried on stretchers.
