SPOFFORD, Texas — Cleanup is underway in Spofford after a train loaded with unleaded fuel derailed on Sunday morning.

Nobody was injured when 14 cars tipped over on their side around 8 a.m at the Union Pacific Eagle Pass Subdivision, but it is unclear if any fuel spilled in the incident.

The train belongs to BNFS, based in Fort Worth. It came off the tracks less than an hour away from the border with Mexico.

When reached out for a comment, BNFS told KENS 5 they had personnel at the scene and were currently investigating the cause of the derailment.
