Truck Carrying Toxic Debris From Deadly Train Derailment Crashes, Highlighting Disaster Cleanup Challenges

The truck was carrying contaminated soil from a train derailment that caused one of the worst environmental disasters in US history.
Roughly half of the toxic load spilled onto an Ohio highway after the truck driver lost control, though officials assured the public there was no threat.
The crash came amid ongoing efforts to dispose of hazardous waste from a February train derailment that contaminated soil and water.
Local communities have protested handling the waste, underscoring difficulties in transporting and disposing of toxic materials.
A makeshift health clinic opened the same day to handle exposure symptoms, though tests have deemed the area safe according to the companies overseeing the cleanup.
