There was a massive train derailment in British Columbia on Monday, with multiple train cars seen dangling off the tracks. Drone video shows the extent of the derailment that happened in B.C.’s Fraser Valley, while CN Rail said it estimates that about 60 cars went off the tracks on a bridge near Hunter Creek, just west of Hope.   

Preliminary information suggests the cars went off the bridge and crashed down below, with some ending up in a waterway. The railcars were carrying potash, which is primarily used as a fertilizer, the company said.

No injuries, fires or dangerous goods were involved. CN said it sent a team of environmental experts to the site to make sure there are no dangers to the surroundings.

The Transportation Safety Board is sending an investigator to determine what happened.
