OTTAWA COUNTY — Just after 4 a.m. today, high winds sent four railroad cars from a passing train tumbling over a bridge and into Sandusky Bay.
One car has also overturned on the tracks.
Ottawa County Sheriff Robert Bratton says one car loaded with hazardous materials has not been located.
There have been no injuries and the surrounding neighborhood residents have not been evacuated.
Fire and police agencies are still on-scene.
The railroad tracks run parallel to the Edison bridge-state Route 2 area.
The rail bridge runs between the Sandusky area in Erie County and the Ottawa County peninsula that includes Port Clinton.
