A CSX freight train derailed Tuesday afternoon in Bensalem Township near East Bristol Road and Grave Avenue. No injuries were reported.\n<\/p>\n

Bucks County authorities are urging residents to stay away from the area but say there is \u201cno threat to public safety at this time.\u201d Shelter-in-place and evacuation orders have been lifted<\/a> as of 4:30 p.m., said William McVey, director of public safety for Bensalem Township, at a press conference Tuesday.\n<\/p>\n

At approximately 1:59 p.m., a 72-car freight train traveling eastbound went off the tracks in Bucks County. Sixteen cars derailed, according to McVey.\n <\/p>\n

Hazmat crews and other first responders arrived to assess the contents of the derailed cars and to remain onsite for cleanup.\n<\/p>\n

McVey said there were hazardous materials onboard the train but said hazmat crews determined that \u201cnothing leaked.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was an alcohol substance in one and I believe an acid in another, but I don\u2019t have the specific materials,\u201d McVey said.\n<\/p>\n

McVey said the CSX hazmat team will be responsible for cleaning up the site and investigating the cause of the derailment.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
