IRVINE, Ky. (AP) -- Four runaway rail cars struck two parked locomotives Monday in east-central Kentucky, causing a fire and spilling a chemical that prompted a limited evacuation and orders that others stay indoors.
The crash released butyl acetate, a flammable liquid, from a burning tanker car, authorities said. The fire produced a huge column of black smoke and a section of the Kentucky River where fuel or chemicals had spilled caught fire. No injuries were reported, authorities said.See the full content of this document
