Mexico train collision kills 10 by Magdalena Rosova

Collision of two cargo trains that happened on Tuesday morning in the western Mexican state of Sinaloa killed at least 10 people and wounded five other people. Among the killed people there were illegal migrants hitching rides. The crash was caused by a fault in changing tracks. Someone in Sinaloa did not change the tracks correctly. The train was in Sinaloa in the early morning hours. Martin Gastelum, spokesman for Sinaloa's public prosecutor's office said that the majority of victims were undocumented and the train operators were injured in the crash as well. One of the cargo trains was carrying tonnes of corn and so corn was spilled all over the place where the trains cr! ashed. Gastelum said rescue workers were still searching if there were some more bodies buried under the corn. Officials were not surprised that there were migrants in the cargo trains. Every year hundreds of migrants from Central America are illegally traveling to United States. They risk their lives to get to U.S. border and not all of them succeed. This time 10 of them were killed in the train accident in Mexico before they got to their dream U.S. border. Many migrants hitch rides on fast cargo train and often they just hang on the side of the trains. That is very dangerous as they many times slip and loose limbs or even die under the train. According to U.S. estimations, every year about 12 million immigrants successfully get to the United States, most of them enter from neighboring Mexico.
