Gunmen blocked a busy road in the Mexican state of Veracruz, abandoning two trucks with 35 bodies inside as horrified motorists looked on.

Terrified witnesses sent messages on Twitter as they saw the bodies being left at an underpass in Boca del Rio.

Some of the victims had their hands tied and showed signs of having been tortured, reports said.

Veracruz, on the Gulf of Mexico coast, has seen a spike in drug-related violence in recent months.

On Tuesday afternoon, people began to tweet that men wearing military-style uniforms were blocking the underpass near a big shopping centre, pointing their guns at motorists and dumping the bodies.

"They don't seem to be soldiers or police," a tweet read, according to Associated Press. Another said: "Don't go through that area, there is danger."
