Toxic soil truck from East Palestine derailment overturns on highway.

TL;DR
A truck carrying 40,000 pounds of contaminated soil from the site of a train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio overturned on a highway, spilling about half of its toxic load. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency said the spill was contained and not a threat to nearby waterways. The driver had minor injuries and was cited for "operating a vehicle without reasonable control." The February train derailment led to evacuations of a rural Ohio town and environmental and health concerns. As of April 10, about 11.4 million gallons of liquid wastewater and 19,900 tons of soil have been removed from East Palestine.
