A train carrying hazardous materials has derailed in Michigan.

CBS News reported on Tuesday a train operated by Norfolk Southern Railway Co. derailed in Van Buren Township, Michigan.

No injuries were reported.

But people are being asked to avoid the area.

CBS added, “There is evidence of exposed hazardous materials, and none of the train cars containing hazardous materials were compromised in the incident.”

In a statement, the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) said, “EGLE is aware of the train derailment in Van Buren Township, Wayne County, where initial reports indicate no threat to the public from the derailment. EGLE personnel are on their way to the scene to assist in assessing the situation.”

The incident comes after another train operated by Norfolk Southern derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, on Feb. 3.

That train was also carrying hazardous materials. Officials conducted a “controlled release” of vinyl chloride — a carcinogenic chemical.

Pictures showed a dark cloud of smoke billowing into the sky as officials conducted the release.

Axios noted, “Two days after the company vented and burned the vinyl chloride, East Palestine residents who evacuated were allowed to return to their homes but have complained of smells, headaches, nausea and other ailments.”

Additionally, there have been reports of 3,500 dead fish in local waterways. There have also been reports of chickens dying.

EPA officials said they tested nearly 400 homes, and the air quality tests detected no level of concern.

They also said they found no contaminants in water from five wells that contribute to the municipal water system.

However, residents appear skeptical of the assertion the area is safe.

During a town hall meeting Wednesday night, one woman asked, “If there’s nothing in the air and nothing in the water, why are people still getting sick?
