Ferromex derailment in Sonora, Mexico

My Spanish isn't that good but it sounds like a train with copper concentrate and sulphuric acid loads derailed due to either a washout or bridge collapse near Naco, which is right on the Sonora/Arizona border. Happened about 4 weeks ago. Looks like the locomotives took the brunt of it. Believe the train was going from Nacozari to Cananea. Two of the largest open pit copper mines in Mexico are in this region. This is the area east of Nogales, AZ.
