The Van Buren Township Fire Department confirms that a train derailed near Huron River Drive this morning.
Chopper video shows at least six cars off the track.
Officials say only one car in the train was carrying hazardous materials, which is reportedly showing no sign of leaking or damage.
The fire department says the derailment is causing traffic issues, but poses no danger to the public at this time.
Luckily, officials say that ‘nothing is leaking’ from the train according to MLIVE:
A Norfolk Southern freight train which derailed in the metro Detroit area on Thursday is not a pollution concern, say Michigan regulators.
“Nothing is leaking,” said Jill Greenberg, spokesperson for the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE). “There is no environmental concern at the site.”
Authorities say approximately 30 cars were involved in the train derailment, which occurred Thursday, Feb. 16 just before 9 a.m. in Van Buren Township near Belleville.
According to EGLE, one of the overturned cars carried agricultural grain and the remaining were empty.
One car that contained liquid chloride, a salt product used in road treatment, was removed from the area and was not among the overturned section.
No injuries have been reported.’
