Authorities say all six people killed in last week's pre-dawn bus crash on an Arizona interstate were Mexican citizens.
The bus - operated by Van Nuys, Calif.-based Tierra Santa Inc. - was traveling from the central Mexican state of Zacatecas to Los Angeles. It was headed to Phoenix on Friday to change drivers when it hit a pickup truck, veered onto the left shoulder of the road, overcorrected and rolled.
Mexican Consulate officials worked with the Pinal County Coroner's Office to identify the five women and one man who died in the accident on Interstate 10, some 25 miles south of downtown Phoenix.
None of the victims' names were released Tuesday, but authorities say five of the dead were from Zacatecas and one was from Coahuila.
