Five train cars slipped off the tracks last night, causing a traffic nightmare for the morning commute on Glover Road.

The derailment took place around 10 p.m. Wednesday night and crews are working through to get the cars back in line. It has caused a closure at Glover Road at 216. Traffic rerouted near Crush Crescent.

The morning commute was terrible on all the major roads. An accident involving a taxi on 208 Street caused traffic to crawl. Traffic along 200 Street was no better.
