Two weeks after the environmental disaster in East Palestine, Ohio, where contamination in the town’s water and air is still being investigated, another train carrying hazardous materials between Atlanta and Detroit, Michigan, derailed, leaving a dozen of its wagons left the track.
The rollover happened near the town of Van Buren, in the central east of the country, and an affected railroad car was reportedly carrying hazardous materials and was not one of those affected by the derailment of the large formation.
In turn, the authorities confirmed that there were no injuries and that there were no leaks of polluting materials.
The new accident comes after a train carrying toxic chemicals also derailed in eastern Ohio in early February, starting a fire that engulfed the city of East Palestine in smoke.
