Thirty-seven people were killed when a truck loaded with explosives crashed into another truck in an accident in northern Mexico on Monday.

About 150 people were injured by the blast, which left a crater of up to 20 meters in diameter in the road in the northern state of Coahuila.

Most of the dead were people who had rushed to the scene of the crash, including three newspaper journalists.

They were killed when the truck exploded.

Coahuila is a mining state where explosives are used in the coal industry.
