Police initially gave the death toll as 63 in a statement sent to reporters, but later revised it to 46, saying in another statement that some people found unconscious at the crash scene were actually still alive.

“At the time of the crash, several victims were found unconscious and some may have been mistakenly included in the initial fatality count,” the statement said.
