Train collides with tanker truck near U.S.-Mexico border

A tanker truck hauling liquid petroleum collided with a freight train, killing at least two people, injuring at least 44 and reducing parts of a border-town settlement to rubble.

Witnesses said they heard two large explosions followed by a series of smaller ones Thursday, with gusts of fire ripping through cement-wall homes and blasting off corrugated metal roofing.
