A chemical leak in southwestern Ohio from train car described as "dangerous" by local authorities led to evacuation orders on Tuesday for some people in the state's Hamilton County.
"DANGEROUS chemical leak near State Route 128. IMMEDIATELY GO INDOORS and stay inside until further notice. Close and seal off doors & windows, close fireplace dampers, and turn off heat," Hamilton County's emergency authorities said on social media platform X.

An NBC News affiliate cited officials as saying the leak came from a train car that had a valve open, releasing styrene gas.
