TOPOCK, Arizona (AP) — Officials say a freight train carrying hazardous materials derailed in western Arizona, near the state’s border with California and Nevada, on Wednesday evening. Anita Mortensen, a spokeswoman for the Mohave County Sheriff’s Office, said the train derailed near the town of Topock and that she was not aware of any spills or leaks. The derailment occurred near milepost 9 of Interstate 40, which is a rural, non-residential area about 20 miles north of Lake Havasu City. Mortensen said she had no details about how many cars were on the train, or what materials it had been carrying when it derailed. No injuries have been reported.
