A train carrying hazardous chemicals derailed in outside Detroit in Michigan, USA, just one week after another train derailment caused a toxic chemical leak in Ohio.

Local officials said no hazardous materials were exposed when the train derailed on Thursday morning.

A video released by the police department shows aerial footage of the train cars, many of which are off the tracks and sideways.

Van Buren Township Public Safety said about 30 Norfolk Southern Railway cars were involved in the derailment south of Huron River Drive in Van Buren Township, a suburb of Detroit.

There were no reported injuries.

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy said one car was carrying liquid chlorine, but it was located away from the derailed cars and was one of the first cars to be removed.

They said there was no evidence the hazardous materials had been exposed.

U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., confirmed on Twitter that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency responded to the derailment to assess whether any hazardous materials were exposed.

Among the overturned cars, one was carrying agricultural grain and the rest were empty, officials said.
