Officials that spoke to WXYZ, which reported that at least six cars were seen off the track, said one of them was carrying hazardous materials.

The derailment comes less than two weeks after a train carrying toxic chemicals derailed in East Palestine, Ohio.

Police told Fox2 Detroit that roads will be closed in the area while an investigation is ongoing.

[Apparently, the car or cars carrying the hazardous material are secured, but keep an eye out for developments. Derailments are not that uncommon in the US for a variety of reasons, which is one reason why pipelines for transport of oil are usually preferable to rail distribution. — Ed]
