Suspected drug traffickers drove two lorries to a main road and dumped 35 bodies as gunmen stood guard.

Motorists trapped at the scene during Tuesday's rush-hour sent Twitter warnings to avoid the area near a large shopping centre in the city of Boca del Rio.

The gruesome scene was a sharp escalation in drug violence in the Gulf coast state of Veracruz.
