- Railway crews and local first responders are investigating the derailment, which occurred "due to a freight train issue." Teams are managing derailed cars found "in various positions" at the scene.
- Hannan stated the spilled polyethylene is a "non-dangerous good" used for manufacturing household plastics. The derailment was visible from the Welland Canals Trail, though officials confirmed no danger to the public.
- Metrolinx suspended train services between Confederation in Stoney Creek and Niagara Falls following the derailment. People can board the route 12 bus to Burlington for train connections, though non-essential travel is discouraged.
