Car Crash Bensalem Pennsylvania in Bensalem, Pennsylvania: A 72-car CSX freight train traveling eastbound derailed in Bensalem, Pennsylvania on June 30, 2026, shortly after 2 p.m., when 16 cars toward the rear of the train jumped the tracks between Street Road and the Neshaminy Falls train station. No one was injured, but three of the derailed cars displayed hazardous material placards, prompting door-to-door evacuations on Grove Avenue and Old Lincoln Highway and a Bucks County shelter-in-place alert for residents within a one-mile radius. Emergency and Hazmat crews confirmed no hazardous materials leaked or spilled. SEPTA suspended commuter service for five hours, and the NTSB announced it will not investigate, while the Federal Railroad Administration is monitoring and CSX must submit a safety report within three months.
