A train derailment in Oaxaca, Mexico, killed at least 13 people and injured 98. The accident occurred on December 28, 2025, in Nizanda, Oaxaca state. The Interoceanic Train, en route to Coatzacoalcos, derailed.
Mexican army soldiers and civil protection members are on the scene. They are rescuing passengers from the wreckage. The injured are receiving medical attention. Authorities have launched an investigation into the cause of the derailment.
The accident is expected to fuel criticism of the speed and transparency of government infrastructure projects. The Interoceanic Train was designed to connect the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. It aimed to provide an alternative cargo route to the Panama Canal. This route was intended to boost regional development.
The investigation will focus on potential causes, including track conditions and mechanical failure. The government will likely face increased scrutiny regarding its infrastructure development policies. Further updates will be provided as the investigation progresses.
