A double pipe carrying fuel overturned and exploded near the Los Álamos shopping center in Tijuana, Baja California , causing the fire of several nearby cars and businesses.

The events occurred around noon on Friday, June 25, on Insurgentes Avenue, at the height of Lázaro Cárdenas Boulevard.

According to several witnesses, the driver of the pipe tried to beat the yellow light of the traffic light so he accelerated the march of the unit and ended up overturning on 10 parked cars.

After the explosion, the fire reached a shopping plaza where 7 vehicles and 8 stores were burned, however, there was no report of injured people, since the driver of the unit managed to get out of the cabin before the explosion.

Elements of the Fire Department, rescuers, police and Civil Protection personnel from Playas de Rosarito arrived at the site of the incident to extinguish the fire and save the people who were in the area.
