MEXICO CITY — A highway collision between a passenger bus and a semitrailer in northern Mexico left at least 16 dead and 22 injured Thursday.
The accident occurred outside the border town of Sonoyta, a town across from Arizona that travelers pass through on their way to Puerto Peñasco.
The highway parallels the U.S.-Mexico border and connects Sonoyta with San Luis Rio Colorado.
