AT least 15 people including children have died after a bus plunged 100ft into a ravine.
The bus was carrying dozens of passengers and their families across Mexico and left the road after the driver fell asleep.
The horror crash took place in the early hours of Thursday in the north bypass of the city of Tepic.
The bus had left Mexico City and was bound for Tijuana, making a stop in Guadalajara.
Emergency services attended the scene and rescued at least 20 injured passengers, including the driver, who is under police custody.
"At the scene there were 21 injured people of various ages who were attended to, as well as 15 people who are presumed to be without signs of life," Nayarit Civil Protection and Firefighters said in a post on social media.
