VERACRUZ, Mexico (AP) - An overcrowded bus speeding home from a
religious festival veered off a highway emergency ramp and crashed
through a metal barrier Monday, plunging more than 200 meters (650
feet) into a ravine. At least 67 people were killed, including four
minors.

Four others survived the plunge from the highway, considered one of
the 15 most dangerous in Mexico. The bus had already traveled for more
than 10 hours as it returned from an Easter week gathering in the
western city of Guadalajara to the passengers' home state of Tabasco,
on the Gulf Coast.

Rescuers ended their search for victims after recovering 63 bodies,
State Attorney General official Rosa Elvira Gonzalez said. She said
four others died in area hospitals. Officials did not say if the
driver survived.

The bus, equipped to hold 46 passengers, was carrying 71, some of whom
were standing, said Federal Preventive Police Cmdr. Reinaldo Ascencio
Cavazos. He said the owner of the bus was detained for questioning.

Ascencio said the passengers belonged to a religious group known as
The Light of the World.

Where they attending some sort of service in honor of St. Cantaloupe?
