Tomza Gas faces investigation after Cuernavaca truck explosion
An LP gas truck explosion in the Las Granjas neighborhood of Cuernavaca has prompted investigations by the Morelos State Prosecutor's Office and Civil Protection. The incident, involving a unit owned by Tomza Gas Titanium, resulted in at least 21 to 22 injuries and widespread property damage.
Official reports indicate that the explosion caused damage to 34 homes, three of which have been declared uninhabitable. The blast's heat wave extended nearly 200 meters, affecting vehicles and electrical infrastructure. The driver of the vehicle fled the scene following the incident and remains at large.
Civil Protection in Morelos has initiated an administrative procedure against Tomza Gas Titanium, which could lead to formal sanctions or the company's closure in the region. The company has reportedly expressed willingness to assist with medical expenses and property repairs while investigations continue to determine the exact cause of the leak.
