Three trains derail near Pennsylvania’s Lehigh River, no injuries or toxic spills reported

Three Norfolk Southern trains derailed Saturday after a collision in Pennsylvania near the Lehigh River but no injuries or toxic spills were reported.

The incident occurred near Easton, Pa., on Saturday morning, leaving some railroad cars scattered along the riverbank and at least one was in the water.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) was investigating. The agency said the incident began when an eastbound Norfolk Southern train struck another Norfolk Southern train stopped on the track. 

Norfolk Southern praised “the quick, professional response by local emergency agencies,” according to The Associated Press.
