A Norfolk Southern train derailed in Ohio on Saturday, the second such incident involving the railroad in that state in about a month.
“No hazardous materials are involved and there have been no reported injuries,” Norfolk Southern said. “Our teams are en route to the site to begin cleanup operations.”
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine said President Joe Biden and Buttigieg called him to offer any assistance needed with the latest accident.U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown, a Democrat from Ohio, said on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday morning that he was not satisfied with the company’s response to the latest derailment and questioned if communities in Clark County could have been affected by any potential contaminants left in the mostly empty cars.
Clark County officials asked residents living within 1,000 feet of Saturday’s derailment to “shelter-in-place out of an abundance of caution,” according to a statement on the county’s Facebook page.
