At least 54 people have been killed and scores more injured after the truck they were being transported in crashed in southern Mexico.

More than 150 people, said to be migrants from Central America, were crammed into the truck's trailer when it rolled in the state of Chiapas.

Pictures show victims strewn across the road next to the overturned truck.

It is one of the worst accidents of its kind in Mexico.

Forty-nine people were confirmed dead at the scene and five more died in hospital.

Some 105 people - 83 men and 22 women - were also injured in the crash.
