The derailment appears to have happened near the intersection of Scotten Avenue and Bangor Street. Police are treating it as a Level 1 Hazmat situation, the lowest-danger level, due to unknown materials on the train. There are also power lines down as a result of the accident.
Obviously, avoid the area.
