Spectacular train accident in the USA on the border between Arizona and New Mexico. A freight train carrying fuel derailed and caught fire, forcing the closure of an interstate highway that serves as a key route for trucks. The first passers-by posted videos and photos on social media of crumpled train carriages and columns of black smoke. No injuries were reported. An investigation has been opened to establish the causes of the derailment. The train was carrying odorless propane and gasoline, and a half-dozen rail cars caught fire and burned for hours after the derailment. Nearby residences and truck stops were evacuated as a precaution.
