TAUNTON, Mass. — A freight train derailed in Taunton Wednesday morning, causing a hazardous materials spill, according to the Taunton Fired Department.
Shortly before 8 a.m., fire officials say they were alerted to the derailment of a CSX train engine near Mozzone Boulevard.
Only crew members were on the train and there were no reported injuries.
The Taunton Fire Department and Hazmat teams were working to contain the spill Wednesday morning.
