NEWTON FALLS, Ohio- A 97 car train derailed a little after 7:00 a.m. Monday morning in Newton Falls. Fourteen of the cars derailed.
According to the Trumbull County Emergency Management Director no hazardous chemicals were released.
It was first thought that ammonia was leaking from one of the tankers. That scare forced the evacuation of an eight block area around the Center Street Bridge.
Emergency crews from surrounding counties are in Trumbull County to help assess the situation.
