Check out these two stories I reported about recent crashes.

The first happened last week on a busy five-lane street through Boardman and Youngstown when a semi failed to stop for a van that was turning resulting in a four-vehicle crash and three injuries. One of the vehicles was a Vindicator van! Yikes!

The second is one I contributed to out of Newton Falls where a CSX train derailed early Monday morning. The crash woke some residents and left two train cars dangling from a bridge through the town. About 200 residents were evacuated when crews suspected that the train may have leaked dangerous chemicals.
