The incident occurred in the Rocamontes District of Concepcion de Oro, Zacatecas, around 6:30 a.m. local time (1230 GMT).

According to local media, the bus was transporting Mexican citizens, who were residents in the United States, to their hometowns in Zacatecas and Aguascalientes for summer vacation.
