At least 20 people were killed and about 70 more injured when a metro overpass in Mexico City collapsed, sending a subway car plunging toward a busy road late Monday night, authorities said. The accident trapped cars under rubble and passengers in train cars hanging in mid-air, video on social media and Mexico television showed. Dozens of rescuers have continued searching through wreckage from the collapsed, preformed concrete structure. "There are unfortunately children among the dead," Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum said, without specifying how many. The collapse occurred on the newest of the Mexico City subway's lines, Line 12, the construction of which has been plagued by complaints and accusations of irregularities. The line had to be partly closed in 2013 so tracks could be repaired. The Mexico City Metro is one of the largest and busiest in the world, with at least four million people using it every day, The New York Times reports. Ref. USAToday.
