Three freight trains crash in Northwest Indiana Friday -- one of which was carrying highly flammable ethanol.
Firefighters were able to contain the fire.
The accident occurred when one of the trains rear-ended another that had stopped on the tracks for as yet unknown reasons.
The third train was traveling from the opposite direction and crashed into the derailed cars.
Two crew members were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. No fatalities have been reported.
