Freight Train Derails in Weber Canyon.

A freight train derailed in Weber Canyon Wednesday, causing minor injuries and partially blocking traffic on I-84.
Two Union Pacific Trains collided around 9:30 am Wednesday near Ogden Utah. One cargo train carrying mostly grain had 7-8 cars derailed. Both trains were heading westbound. Hazmat crews are trying to contain diesel spilling from the train. Three people have reportedly suffered minor injuries in the accident. Corn was spilled from the cars and only minor injuries were reported. One lane of traffic on I-80 was closed as a precaution and to position a crane to lift the derailed cars.
