A train traveling outside Detroit, Michigan, has derailed this Thursday, with at least one car carrying hazardous material, Fox News reports.
It's not yet known what caused the train to derail. Authorities told local news reporters that there were no injuries and the area has not been declared a hazmat situation.
Officials told reporters that one car that was seen off the track was carrying hazardous materials.
"At this time no one is aware of the release of any hazardous materials, the car carrying hazardous material has been put upright and is being removed from the area of the other derailed cars, and EPA is dispatching a team to ensure public safety," Rep. Debbie Dingell, (D-MI) said in a statement.

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