A Norfolk Southern train derailed in Springfield, Ohio, on Saturday.
The Clark County Emergency Management Agency asked residents within 1,000 feet (300 meters) of the incident to shelter in place “out of an abundance of caution,” it said in a post on Facebook.
The derailment took place at Ohio 41 near the Prime Ohio Business Park, according to the agency, which asked all locals who need the highway to “find alternate routes.”
Officials from multiple Clark County and Ohio agencies were on the scene, according to the agency.
Norfolk Southern told authorities that hazardous materials are not involved in the incident, the agency announced hours later at 8:50 p.m. local time….
