Twenty cars of a 212-car Norfolk Southern train derailed on Saturday while heading southbound near the town of Springfield, Ohio, Norfolk Southern spokesperson Connor Spielmaker confirmed to media outlets. Representatives from Norfolk Southern, the Environmental Protection Agency and a Clark County hazmat team each independently examined the crash site in Clark County and verified there was no evidence of spillage, Springfield Township Fire Chief Dave Mangle said at a news conference, according to CNN. Two of the derailed tankers contained residual amounts of diesel exhaust fluid, another two contained polyacrylamide water solution and four were carrying with non-hazardous materials, according to Mangle.
