The Spin

Narrative A

This tragedy is the result of multiple human errors, including the bus driver's likely failure to follow the rules of the road, as well as a lack of road signage. While it's good to hear the bus company will take care of the victims, this massive loss of life should've never occurred.

Narrative B

Mexico's traffic fatality issue is a national issue that has only increased in recent years. Despite earnest attempts to mitigate these tragedies, such as speed cameras and its constitutional "Right to Mobility" initiative, the government must implement these policies everywhere, otherwise things will only get worse.
