KALAMAZOO, Mich. (WOOD) — A freight train derailed in Kalamazoo Tuesday morning, blocking some roads during the morning commute and causing some damage to a nearby building.
The damage was limited, however, and no one was hurt.
"Really, this is the best-case scenario for something like this," Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety Chief Karianne Thomas said.
Shortly before 7 a.m., about 15 cars fell off the tracks alongside Porter Street between Kalamazoo Avenue and Willard Street. The cause of the derailment is not yet known.
