Two trains explode into flames after head-on collision inOklahoma

GOODWELL, Okla. — Three Union Pacific Railroad crewmembers were missing after two freight trains collided Sunday in Oklahoma.

An eastbound train carrying vehicles and a westbound train crashed about 10:08 a.m. Sunday near Goodwell in western Oklahoma, Union Pacific regional spokeswoman Raquel Espinoza said. A two-person crew was aboard each train, and officials were unable to account for two engineers and a conductor, Espinoza said.
Firefighters were working to extinguish the blaze, which was burning in a sparsely populated area of the county, Texas County Emergency Management Director Harold Tyson said. No evacuations have been ordered, he said.
