The authorities on Thursday raised the death toll to 27 in a central Mexican town where a truck lost control and slammed into a religious procession. A Public Safety Department official for the state of Zacatecas confirmed the number of dead and said 149 people were injured. The truck, loaded with building materials, apparently lost its brakes and ran into the crowd on Wednesday in Mazapil.
