A subway overpass collapsed late Monday in Mexico City, sending the cars of a passenger train plunging to the ground and killing at least 23 people, including children, the city’s mayor said.
At least 70 others were injured, officials said, and emergency workers scrambled to a scene where tilted train cars lay amid tangled wires and twisted metal. As dawn approached, a crane was holding one car in the air as emergency workers checked it to see whether any passengers remained trapped.
