The incident happened as the bus, operated by the Herradura de Plata bus company, was making its way into an industrial zone south of the Atlacomulco area, outside the capital Mexico City.

CCTV footage shown by local media appears to show the passenger bus being hit by a train as it attempted to cross a railway line on Monday morning.

The train's operator Canadian Pacific Kansas City issued a statement expressing its condolences to the victims' families and warned drivers to respect railroad stop signs to "avoid these tragic situations".

Both the bus and train company are working with authorities investigating the incident.
