Wisconsin derailment sends 2 train cars into Mississippi River

A freight train derailed along the Mississippi River in southwestern Wisconsin Thursday, possibly injuring one crew member and sending two cars into the water, officials said.

The train derailed in Crawford County at about 12:15 p.m. Two of the train's three locomotives and an unknown number of cars carrying "freight of all kinds" derailed on the eastern edge of the river, BNSF Railway spokesperson Lena Kent said.

All crew members were accounted for, with one receiving a medical evaluation, she said.
