Over the weekend, a deadly accident in the Mexican state of Oaxaca left at least 13 people dead after a passenger train operating on the Interoceanic Corridor derailed.

Mexico's Navy said on Dec. 28 that the crash happened around 9:30 a.m., when a locomotive derailed and pulled four railcars off the tracks. Navy Secretary Raymundo Pedro Morales said 13 people were killed and 98 others were injured, with 44 still hospitalized.
