Five migrants believed to be from Central America were killed when the van they were travelling in flipped over in northern Mexico, Mexican immigration authorities said.
A total of 26 migrants from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala were in the van when it flipped over in the northern border state of Nuevo Leon.
The National Immigration Institute said Tuesday that the other 21 migrants were injured. The dead included four men and one woman.
Identifying them was made difficult by the fact that the dead apparently had no travel or ID documents.
The surviving migrants said the van was speeding, and that after the crash, an escort vehicle picked up the driver and fled the scene, according to a news agency report.
