One railroad employee was left with minor injuries Saturday after a freight train carrying hazardous materials derailed in Worcester.

The train derailed underneath the Cambridge Street overpass, causing the rails to break and cars to fall off the tracks.

Two of the cars were said to be carrying hazardous materials. There were no reported leaks.

Inspectors are expected to check the integrity of the bridge later in the day on Saturday.
