MEXICO CITY — At least 12 people died when a bus carrying cruise ship passengers to Mayan ruins in eastern Mexico flipped over on a highway early Tuesday, officials said. Video images from the scene showed the bus on its side in vegetation off the two-lane highway, with some survivors lying on the pavement and others walking around. The United States Embassy in Mexico said US officials were working with local authorities to determine whether American citizens were involved. ADVERTISEMENTMichael Schuenemeyer, a minister from Cleveland, was on another bus that passed the crash about an hour later. Costa Maya Mahahual, the bus company involved, said in a statement that in addition to the tourists, a guide and driver were aboard the bus.
