Mexico City: A gas truck exploded in Mexico City on Wednesday, killing four people and wounding 90, municipal officials said, as well as causing widespread damage and disruption.

The vehicle overturned and blew up under a bridge in the densely populated Iztapalapa district, leaving 19 people with second- and third-degree burns, Mexico City Mayor Clara Brugada said.

The injured were treated in city hospitals, where desperate relatives gathered for news of their loved ones.

She later updated the toll of dead and injured on social media platform X, adding that 10 of the injured had been discharged.
