A freight train in Mexico was engulfed in thick flames after a fuel truck crashed into it. 

A video of the incident from October 20 shows a blazing train passing near a bridge after a fuel tanker reportedly rammed into it.

According to some reports, the fire started after the fuel tanker rammed into an overpass. 

No casualties or injuries were reported barring one person, who experienced minor breathing issues due to smoke inhalation.

The fire led to commotion in the city of Aguascalientes, as moving vehicles halted amid a raging fire, prompting travellers to leave their cars.

Following the incident, about 1000 people were evacuated from the nearby residential area, NDTV reported quoting city fire chief Miguel Murillo.
