Video: Train derails and bursts into flames in Ohio Aerial images of the site showed several train cars lying in a pile as flames shot up into the darkness. Two people were injured in the accident which happened near the Ohio state fairgrounds in the state capital early on Wednesday morning. Both were taken to a nearby hospital. The incident prompted evacuations in a mile-wide area as firefighters fought to contain the blaze. Authorities set up a shelter at the fairgrounds for residents who were forced to leave their homes. There was no word on what caused the train to derail and what material was burning in the overturned cars.
