[fm]: Chlorine leak in West Virginia under control
Authorities say a chlorine leak in West Virginia that sent at least two people to a hospital is under control.
Media reports say the leak was detected Saturday when emergency authorities said a chemical cloud from the Axiall Corp. plant headed south. Marshall County emergency officials say two people were taken to a hospital with unspecified injuries.
The U.S. Coast Guard says a portion of the Ohio River was closed near Proctor, W.Va. It says the release of liquid chlorine was reported from a rail car at the plant. It says an unknown amount of the product was released into the ground and air, creating a plume traveling downriver.
The leak caused W.Va. 2 to be shut down in the area and the evacuation of the Kent neighborhood.
