11 OF FREIGHT TRAIN'S CARS DERAIL

Eleven cars of a northbound freight train derailed Tuesday in Henrico County, officials said.

Firefighters were on the scene within minutes and determined there were no hazardous materials involved, said Fire Department Lt. N. Paige Bishop.

The accident scattered a load of white powdered clay, a load of untreated railroad ties, steel plates, fiber board and rolls of paper.

The cause of the 7:30 a.m. derailment has not been determined.
