At least 24 people were killed and more than 70 injured after an overpass carrying a subway train collapsed in southern Mexico City late Monday, according to local officials.

So far, the train cars have been removed from the scene of the accident. Hundreds of firefighters and police officers still remained at the site. Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Tuesday promised at daily news conference a full investigation involving international experts into the accident.

The collapse occurred on Line 12, the newest in the capital, which has been put into use since 2012.
