Earthquake rocks western Mexico
A 7.2 magnitude earthquake has hit the Mexican peninsula of Baja California, killing at least one person and causing tremors as far away as Nevada.
The quake struck at 1540 (2240 GMT), 26km (16 miles) south-west of Guadalupe Victoria in Baja California, at a depth of 32km, said the US Geological Survey.
Mexican media report that a number of people are still trapped in their homes in the town of Mexicali.
It was the worst quake to hit the region for many years, officials said.
