The crash took place at approximately 7:30 a.m. when a Union Pacific train collided with an 18-wheeler.
According to a Union Pacific official, over 100 gallons of diesel fuel were released by the truck following the crash. Union Pacific dispatched a hazard team to assess the damage
“From what we’re being told and shown, there are no major chemicals to be concerned about,” Teller said. “It’s more so household chemicals on board for retail purposes. It’s not a large quantity from what we’re being told.”
Both of these train derailments come as the East Palestine incident has led to potentially hazardous chemicals seeping into the Ohio River, as previously reported by the DC Enquirer.
According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, the Greater Cincinnati Water Works is collecting water samples from the Ohio River after it was assessed that “low levels of butyl acrylate were detected in samples of the Ohio River.”
