Senate Democrat: Trump pick ‘not qualified’ to lead National Security Agency
A train derailed late Tuesday in the countryside, causing several injuries and disrupting service for hours. Emergency crews worked through the night to secure the scene and transport the injured to nearby hospitals, with officials saying the cause is still under investigation.
Local authorities urged residents to avoid the area as debris and hazmat concerns prompted a temporary shutdown of nearby roads. Investigators are reviewing signal systems and maintenance records, while travelers were advised to seek alternative routes or delayed trips.
In a separate development, a city council passed a budget aimed at expanding public housing and transit upgrades, despite opposition from certain business groups. The measure includes funding for new affordable units and improved bus routes to underserved neighborhoods.
