COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (AP) -- Police say a fuel tanker truck collided with a railroad locomotive and erupted in flames in suburban Denver, but only minor injuries were reported.
Authorities in Commerce City say the truck was crossing railroad tracks at about 11:30 p.m. Thursday when it was struck by a single locomotive.
Three people on the locomotive were treated at the scene for minor injuries. Police say the truck driver was not hurt.
Police are investigating.
Officer Chris Dickey told KMGH-TV in Denver there is no indication that any "railroad mechanisms" had failed.
