Two More Trains, One Reportedly Carrying Hazardous Materials, Derail Two Weeks After Ohio Chemical Spill
Nearly 14 days after an Ohio train derailment led to the release of hazardous chemicals into the air, two trains derailed consecutively on Monday, according to recent reports.
On Monday morning, emergency responders were dispatched to a train derailment in Montgomery County, Texas. A man driving an 18-wheeler was struck by the train and lost his life.
The 18-wheeler was pulled for a distance of half a mile along the tracks in a train crash, resulting in the derailment of a total of 15 train cars.
The Splendora Police Department reported that the train was transporting hazardous materials, leading to the dispatch of crews in protective hazmat suits. However, there were no reports of any leaks from the derailed cars.
