Fatalities are now being reported from the gas truck explosion in Mexico City that shattered a maternity and children's hospital.
The mayor tells a TV station that a woman and two men were killed. He earlier told another network that more than 50 people were injured, including 22 children.
The explosion sent a column of smoke billowing over the area on the western edge of Mexico's capital. Television images showed much of the hospital collapsed, with firefighters trying to extinguish fires
The mayor says the blast was apparently caused by a leak in the hose carrying gas from the truck to the hospital.Â
A witness says, "There was a super explosion and everything caught on fire."Â
