Train derails outside Detroit, Michigan, with one car carrying hazardous materials

Van Buren Township train derailment unfolds nearly two weeks after East Palestine, Ohio disaster


A train containing one car of hazardous materials has derailed Thursday in Van Buren Township outside Detroit, Michigan, reports say.

The cause of the derailment was not immediately clear.  

Police told Fox2 Detroit that there were no injuries and the area is not a hazmat situation.

"We are also in touch with the relevant federal authorities, including the EPA," Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., said in a statement obtained by Fox2 Detroit.

"At this time no one is aware of the release of any hazardous materials, the car carrying hazardous material has been put upright and is being removed from the area of the other derailed cars, and EPA is dispatching a team to ensure public safety," she said.

Rabies is a deadly virus that affects the central nervous system in mammals.  It is almost always transmitted through the bite of an infected animal.

Abrego Garcia has consistently denied any involvement with MS-13, and his attorneys argue that the accusations are based on unreliable information.
