A hazardous materials cleanup team was dispatched to the scene of a freight train derailment in eastern Collin County Wednesday morning.

Ten rail cars jumped the tracks around 2 a.m. near Business 78 and FM 1778 in Copeville. Two trains were involved in the accident.

At least one of the cars contained chlorine, a toxic gas. No spills or leaks were reported and no one was hurt.

The cause of the accident was under investigation.

Motorists were warned that traffic in the area would be disrupted through the morning hours.
