NAPANEE, Ont. — A massive explosion rocked this Eastern Ontario town early this morning after two freight trains were involved in an explosion.

Reports indicate the explosion could be seen from as far away as Kingston with residents of Verona located 40 km away reporting they felt the ground shake around the time of the explosion.

Everyone within a two kilometre radius of the accident is being evacuated, according to witnesses, and a Hazmat team has been called in to investigate the incident.
