Trains Derail In Downtown Akron

A clean-up effort is underway after a train derailment in downtown Akron.

Akron Police tell News Channel 5 that the collision forced three train cars into a nearby parking lot at Quaker Square.

According to police, a CSX train traveling about 20 miles per hour rear-ended a stationary train at about 1:30 Thursday morning. Both of the trains were empty at the time of the collision.

A section of the parking is expected to be closed off until the trains are removed.

No one was injured.
