Mexico City’s mayor said late on Wednesday (September 10, 2025) that three people had died and 70 were injured in the explosion of a gas tanker truck along a major Mexico City highway.
Mayor Clara Brugada called the explosion under a highway overpass an “emergency” that burned 18 vehicles and left 19 of those injured in grave condition.

Brugada said prosecutors were investigating, but it appeared that the truck exploded after it tipped over on the highway.
