WHITEMARSH TOWNSHIP, Pa. (AP) — A freight train derailment in southeast Pennsylvania has spurred precautionary evacuations, but officials say no injuries were reported and there is no known hazard to the public.

More than a dozen cars appeared to be off the tracks, and it wasn’t immediately known what was inside them. Hazmat teams were at the site, but it wasn’t immediately clear if anything was leaking. The cause of the derailment is under investigation.
