HOUSTON, Aug. 13 (Xinhua) -- A train carrying some hazardous materials derailed Sunday in the state of Oklahoma. No injuries are reported.
Local media reported that the train was carrying some liquid petroleum gas. Two engines and ten cars of the train derailed on a stretch of tracks Sunday morning, media quote a local emergency official as saying.
Homes within a quarter-mile of the incident were evacuated as crews checked for leaks, the official said. By noon, crews hadn't discovered any leaks, and residents were allowed to return homes.
The accident was probably caused by the recent heavy rain. The reason is still under investigation.
