Local and state first responders confirmed no hazardous materials were found at a train derailment site near the Clark County Fairgrounds, according to a statement released early Sunday morning.
About 20 of the 212 cars on a Norfolk Southern train derailed in Springfield, Ohio at around 4:57 p.m.
On Saturday.
Four tankers on the train were identified with non-hazardous materials: two with residual amounts of diesel exhaust fluid and two with residual amounts of polyacrylamide water solution.
After the derailment, residents within 1,000 feet were asked to shelter in place “out of an abundance of caution,” per the Clark County Emergency Management Agency.
That order has since been lifted.
