Explosion Occurs after Train and Truck Collides

Cameron, TX (2/22/2021) – A train and an 18-wheeler collided, causing a large explosion and fire on Monday.

The collision happened on FM 2095 in Milam County around 7 a.m. when an 18-wheeler collided into a train. Train cars, about 14, derailed. Since the train carried gasoline, those cars exploded. 

No injuries were reported. All personnel on the train, the truck driver, and the conductor are safe. 

Homes were evacuated but a barn near the tracks burned down.  

Crash investigators will review all factors that may have led up to the accident and police reports will be made available in fourteen days.
