Oil Train Derailment Prompts Evacuation in North Dakota Town
HEIMDAL, N.D. — May 6, 2015, 11:00 AM ET
A town of about three dozen people in central North Dakota has been evacuated after an oil train derailed and caught fire.
Wells County Emergency Manager Tammy Roehrich says no injuries have been reported from the Wednesday morning accident near Heimdal (HYM'-dahl), about 115 miles northeast of Bismarck.
Roehrich says the town's roughly 35 residents have left and are staying with family and friends.
