AN eight-year-old child and his mother were killed in southern Mexico after being swept away in a river during tropical storm Barry, bringing the death toll from the storm to three, authorities say.

"After more than 24 hours, we were able to rescue the bodies of a woman and her child," Oaxaca Civil Protection director Manuel Maza Sanchez told AFP on Sunday.

The pair were among a group travelling in a van that was swept away by the swollen river in a town in Oaxaca state, 660 kilometres from Mexico City, the official said.

The third fatality occurred in the eastern state of Veracruz, where the storm made landfall on Thursday.

A man died while trying to cross a river on horseback and was dragged by the force of the current, state authorities said.

Three more people were injured and about 1200 were evacuated preventively in the state.
