Train Derails At Port Of Tampa

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The entrance to the Port of Tampa was shut down after a train derailment and ethanol spill.

At least 15 cars derailed, and three are leaking ethanol, authorities said. It's unclear what caused the derailment, or where exactly the train was headed.

A hazmat team is working to clean up the spill and have laid down a coating of firefighting foam on top of the spill to keep it from catching fire.

There are no reported injuries.
