At least 11 cars in a Norfolk Southern train derailed in Alabama, leading to at least two hospitalizations, officials said.

“According to Norfolk Southern, the train crew was briefly trapped in the engine room because the engine tilted over. There were no major injuries, but RPS was called to the scene to evaluate the crew and transported two crew members as a precaution,” police in Jasper, Alabama, wrote in a statement on Saturday.
