MEXICO CITY (AP) — Officials say an elevated section of Mexico City’s metro collapsed and at least 23 people have been killed. Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum said four bodies were still inside the train, which plunged toward a busy boulevard late Monday night. It was one of the deadliest episodes in the history of the subway system, which is among the busiest in the world. One subway car was left dangling with bodies inside, and a crane was brought in to lower it to the ground. Officials say 77 people were hospitalized. Sheinbaum said one of the concrete beams collapsed as the train passed over it.
