A train reportedly carrying hazardous materials has derailed in Mohave County, Arizona, near the state’s border with California, a sheriff’s office spokesperson confirmed Wednesday night. No spills have been reported at this time, though there are washes running through the area from recent storms, according to Anita Mortensen, a spokesperson for the Mojave County Sheriff’s Office.
It is unclear how many train cars left the tracks, Mortensen said. The derailment comes a week after another train careened off the tracks in rural West Virginia, injuring three crew members and spilling diesel fuel into a nearby river, and over a month after a fiery derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, released potentially hazardous chemicals into the air, soil and water and required extensive cleanup efforts.
