NextImg:Box truck explodes into flames under elevated NYC subway station

A truck contracted by the city’s Department of Transportation exploded into flames early Wednesday in The Bronx – sparking a raging fire just underneath the elevated subway tracks, officials said. 

The box truck – which was carrying flammable materials – caught fire around 5:30 a.m. on Dyre Avenue near Light Street in Eastchester, police and fire officials said. 

Video from the scene shows the white truck – which was contracted for a DOT project – completely engulfed in flames. Another clip captures the heavy fire and smoke visible from the elevated No. 5 train station at Eastchester-Dyre Avenue.

The blaze sparked delays for trains entering and leaving the station.

The raging fire also damaged some parked cars nearby, cops said. 

A dozen FDNY units, including 60 firefighters, responded to the inferno, the department said.
