A train has derailed outside of Detroit, Michigan, with one of its cars carrying hazardous materials.

The derailment occurred in Van Buren Township on Thursday afternoon on Huron River Drive, between Martinsville and Haggerty Roads. At least six cars were off the track, per chopper footage.

The sole train car containing hazardous materials was not compromised, and there is no evidence of exposed hazardous materials, per the Van Buren Township Public Safety Department. There is no danger to the public at this time.

"We are also in touch with the relevant federal authorities, including the EPA," Rep. Debbie Dingell said. "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."

This incident follows the derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, that released chemical toxins into the air and surrounding environment, prompting evacuations for residents along the Ohio-Pennsylvania border.
