A second Norfolk Southern train ran off the tracks in Ohio near the Prime Ohio Business Park in Springfield around 5 p.m. on Saturday.
The Clark County Emergency Management revealed that about 20 of the 212-car train toppled off the tracks while it was traveling through the city.
Meanwhile, Ohio residents were told to shelter indoors “out of an abundance of caution”, whereas several roadways near the accident were shut down.

The Saturday crash took place roughly 300 miles southeast of East Palestine, where residents are growing sick from toxins spilled last month.
Shawn Heaton told the Springfield News-Sun that he was in his car waiting for the train to pass when he watched one of the box cars slip off the track, leading the following cars to plunge into one another in a massive pile-up.

“I was right there and I was playing on my phone and then I heard a loud bang. And when I heard the loud bang, I started recording,” Heaton said.
“When I heard the bang, there was all kinds of debris and metal shoot out from under the cars and that’s when I started recording and you could see them start jumping off the tracks.”
