A new federal lawsuit claims fish and wild animals are dying as far as 20 miles away from the site of a train derailment and controlled burn of chemicals in East Palestine.
The Sandusky-based Murray & Murray law firm on Thursday filed a class-action complaint on behalf of three East Palestine residents, their relatives and other residents within a two-mile radius of the crash site and property owners within a 100-mile radius. It's one of at least seven lawsuits filed against Norfolk Southern since the Feb. 3 derailment.
While the release of chemicals is believed to have killed about 3,500 fish across 7.5 miles of streams, officials have yet to confirm any nonaquatic wildlife deaths connected to the derailment.
The Columbiana County Humane Society told the Herald-Star in Steubenville that it is compiling reports of sick animals as far as seven miles outside the evacuation zone. And the Ohio Department of Agriculture is testing tissue from a six-week-old beef calf that died Feb. 11 about two miles outside East Palestine, according to the Ohio Emergency Management Agency.
