Police removed the vehicle that struck the pipe, and the Harris County Medical Examiner recovered human remains, the Deer Park Emergency Management Office said in a statement.
Forensic doctors will begin identifying the remains, the statement said.
“By Thursday evening, Energy Transfer declared the fire to be extinguished,” the city of Deer Park said in a statement.
“Energy Transfer is working closely with local authorities to manage the response and assist with the investigation.”
The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the reported criminal investigation or the human remains found in the vehicle.
Researchers at investment firm Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co. said the fire is suspected to involve the Justice Pipeline.
The Justice Pipeline, which entered service in 2012 and has a capacity of 375,000 barrels per day, transports a Y-grade natural gas liquids blend from the Permian and Eagle Ford shale regions in Texas to Energy Transfer’s Mont Belvieu fractionator.
