Three people have been killed and around 70 people injured since a tanker truck exploded in Mexico City, reports the city's mayor Clara Brugada Molina during a press conference.

We will continue to help those affected, she says.

At least three of the injured are children. The injured have been taken to different hospitals in the area, some of them with second- and third-degree burns.

The explosion occurred when the vehicle passed a bridge in the eastern parts of the capital, just a few hundred meters from a major hub for public transportation.
