BREAKING: One hurt and three missing after two trains collide head-on in Texas, causing terrifying fireball and massive box-car pile-up

  • Crash occurred at 8:40am Tuesday between two trains near the town of Panhandle, near Amarillo, Texas
  • One person has been injured and three more are reported missing in the collision; all are BNSF Railway train crew
  • Each train had two crew. The injured man jumped from his train before the two collided 
  • Eyewitnesses said that the crash resulted in a fireball, and firefighters are struggling to put out the blaze 
  • The trains were hauling a variety of commercial goods on the track, which runs parallel to US Route 60
  • Locals have been told the turn off sprinklers as the battle against the blaze is draining the local water supply 
  • No cause for the crash has yet been given by federal authorities and no fatalities yet confirmed

Wrecked: At least two dozen cars were involved in the collision. It's not known how fast the trains were moving at the time of the crash, but the speed limit for tracks there was 70mph
 
Drained: Locals were told to turn off sprinklers and conserve water as the Panhandle Fire Department was draining reserves to combat the fearsome blaze
 
Authorities: The National Transportation Safety Board sent investigators to the scene, as did the Federal Railroad Administration. The FAA has closed down airspace above the crash site
 
Technology: BNSF is gradually rolling out anti-collision technology and aims to have it on all its lines by 2018. It's not known whether the new tech was installed on this track
 
Crews: All four of the people linked to the crash were train crew - two on each train - authorities said. The injured man had leaped from his train prior to the crash
