Tanker Car Derails

No injuries are reported out of a railroad tanker car derailment yesterday on the South side. Columbus fire officials say the tanker car was carrying 23-thousand-gallons of a solvent when it tipped over near the Parsons Avenue tracks. Nearly 20 homes and businesses were evacuated as a precaution.
