Two trains collided in Wyandot County, derailing upwards of 20 freight cars and sending two crew members to a hospital.

The Blade is reporting the crash between two CSX trains happened at around 5:20 Monday morning, north of Carey.

The paper is reporting the crash occurred at a location where two tracks on the rail line converge into one track.

The Wyandot County Sheriff’s Office said that one of the trains had run past the waiting point and struck cars from another train.

The train cars were carrying mostly fracking sand, and one had trash that was going to a landfill.

Diesel fuel from the derailed locomotive spilled as well.

The crash is under investigation.

Cooper has 30 percent female board representation. In order to be considered a Winning “W” Company, at least 20 percent of the board has to be female.

(ONN) – Ohio Governor Mike DeWine is taking his push for stricter gun laws to the national stage.

DeWine spoke on Fox News on Sunday, talking about his new proposals working to prevent mass shootings.

He says it’s important to bring everyone together on the issue.

“Democrats and Republicans, we need to bring Ohio together and get these things passed, and they will, each one of them, save lives.”

DeWine’s plan calls for background checks on nearly all gun purchases and a ‘red flag’ law to alert authorities to potentially dangerous people.

The American Red Cross is assisting a family in Fostoria after a fire put them out of their house over the weekend.

The fire department says the fire happened at around 6 o’clock Saturday night at a house on West Jackson Street.

Everyone was able to safely get out of the house, and no one was injured.

(ONN) – People gathered over the weekend to honor a hero who was one of their own.

Private First Class Brandon Kreischer was killed in combat in southern Afghanistan July 29th.

The 20-year-old was assigned to the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, based in Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

Friends, family, and total strangers gathered in his hometown of Bryan, in Williams County, on Saturday to say thank you and goodbye.

Kreischer leaves behind a wife and a son, due to arrive in December.

Ten of the most talented kids in the Findlay area showed off their skills in the inaugural Flag City BalloonFest Talent Show.

Taking the top prize was 16-year-old Adam Hellman, who wowed the crowd with his juggling abilities.

Adam started off his routine in the traditional way but then really kicked it up a notch by eating an apple while juggling it and also asking the crowd for items to juggle.

At one point he was tossing a shoe, an iPhone and a baton into the air and he didn’t drop anything.

Adam, who is a three-sport athlete at Findlay High School, says he’s been juggling for about two years now.

He says, while it’s just for fun now, he’d like to see if he has the talent to become a professional performer.

We asked him what the craziest thing he’s ever juggled was.

“I’ve juggled steak knives before,” he said, adding that his parents weren’t too amused by that.

(ONN) – Supporters of stronger gun control measures have applauded Governor Mike DeWine’s call for expanded background checks and for judges to be able to take guns from people considered to be a threat.

But their frustration is evident as well, and some are letting their anger show.

Columbus City Attorney Zach Klein has pushed for tougher gun measures in the capital city and wants a ban on assault weapons.

“There’s no reason in our country why these are on our streets,” Klein said.

“No other country has this problem, and when they do they act swiftly. We’re the only ones who sit back and throw up our hands and say there’s nothing we can do about it. That’s bullcrap.”

Governor DeWine’s proposal did not include a weapons ban or high capacity restrictions – he says that’s best left to the federal government.
