WARREN, Mich. — Twelve cars of a Canadian National train derailed about 7:30 a.m., creating traffic issues during the morning rush hour in the Detroit suburb while first responders assessed the damage.
The Detroit Free Press reports Warren Mayor Jim Fouts said 12 cars of a 151-car train derailed. While three of the cars involved were tank cars carrying liquid chlorine and unrefined alcohol, the cars remained upright. WJBK-TV reported one car was leaking slightly, according to Warren Fire Commissioner Wilbert McAdams, but it did not pose a danger to the public.
No injuries were reported. WJBK said traffic disruptions could last for several days while the derailment is cleaned up.
