GILBERT, S.C. -- A train derailment in Lexington County caused eight cars to fall off the tracks, but no one was hurt.
Officals said that the incident took place at 5:25 A.M. Sunday.
Department of Health and Environmental Control's Thom Berry says crews are still on the scene. Berry says the train was on its way to Columbia from Augusta when one of the cars tipped over on its side.
Investigators say the car was carrying sulfuric acid, which is a concern, but it has not leaked.
The incident took place at the intersection of Isiah Hall and Hayes Crossing near Spring Hill Road in Gilbert.
