NextImg:Severe storms with 80 mph winds caused train derailment in Texas

A train derailed in West Texas as severe storms moved through the area Tuesday evening.

About 24 rail cars derailed on a Union Pacific train east of Trent about 8 p.m. CDT, Union Pacific Senior Communications Manager Mike Jaixen told FOX Weather.

Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

Union Pacific crews are now clearing the incident, which is under investigation, Jaixen added.

The National Weather Service office in San Angelo, Texas, told FOX Weather that based on Doppler radar data, they believe that straight-line winds caused the derailment.
