The train, which was carrying fuel, exploded after colliding with an 18-wheeler around 6:45 a.m. CT just outside of the city of Cameron, located about 75 miles northeast of Austin.

The Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) train exploded as a result of the crash.

The BNSF train was carrying mixed freight and derailed near Hoyte. The train was struck by a semi-truck, “which impacted a [train] car carrying gasoline,” BNSF Railways Senior Director of External Communications Courtney Wallace told the outlet.

Out of a total of 110 train cars, 13 derailed, Wallace said, citing initial reports. Five of the train cars that were carrying gasoline were still on fire hours after the crash.

There were no injuries to the crew or truck driver. Local first responders and BNSF personnel are onsite to respond to the incident,” Wallace said. “Out of an abundance of caution, local authorities have established a half-mile radius evacuation zone near the site. The cause is under investigation.” Learn more on Fox 26 Houston.

  1. Reminds me of what America will look like in the future — after a fraudulent election, and nobody with balls to stand up for the Constitution!

    *The SCOTUS is a disgrace too.

    It’s in God Almighty’s hands now.
