An accident involved a freight train and a tank truck. The collision caused a terrifying fire. It happened in Mexico, in the central area of the country, in Aguascalientes. Residents of nearby homes were evacuated. Many were taken to hospital from poisoning suffered after the fire broke out. The causes have not yet been fully clarified, possibly a clash between the two means. Videos circulating on the internet show how the area was completely engulfed in black flames and fires.
Fortunately, there were no casualties. This was communicated by the mayor of Aguascalientes, Leonardo Montañez. It is likely that the tanker collided with the oncoming train at this time. Another version, taken from the Reuters agency, says that the fire developed after the collision of the tanker with a viaduct near the railway. The driver of the vehicle was however arrested.
