Macon Telegraph reports appox. 30 cars derailed.
Large contingent of repair crews on scene. Ga 90 is being rerouted around overpass.
I was in Vienna and saw the tank cars being pulled south. Banged up pretty bad. Don't know how they didn't rupture.
It was reported that a broke rail caused the accident causing damage to the overpass. Don't know how much the overpass was damaged.

This is a copy of the derailment in Byromville, Ga. November 17th. This is a dashcam from a Dooly County Deputy.
A few more seconds and he would have been in the middle of this.
