About 20 cars of a Norfolk Southern cargo train derailed near Springfield Saturday evening, the second derailment of the company's trains in Ohio in a month, officials said.
But unlike the Feb. 3 derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, a company spokesperson said there were no hazardous materials aboard the train, The Columbus Dispatch reported.
The 20 cars of the 212-car train derailed while traveling south, the Norfolk Southern spokesperson said. "I was right there and I was playing on my phone and then I heard a loud bang. And when I heard the loud bang, I started recording," Heaton said."When I heard the bang, there was all kinds of debris and metal shoot out from under the cars and that's when I started recording and you could see them start jumping off the tracks."
In an update at 8:50 p.m. EDT, the agency said officials are working to make sure that no hazardous materials were involved.
