The East Palestine train derailment and styrene leak near Cincinnati happened within Ohio.

Now, an Ohio teen has admitted to cutting off a tanker semi-truck in central Illinois that overturned and killed five people from a chemical spill caused by the crash.

Here’s what we know.

Ohio teen admits triggering crash; resulting chemical spill killed five people

A report from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) shows that the 2023 tanker truck collision released hazardous chemicals that prompted evacuations in Teutopolis, Illinois. The truck carried around 7,500 gallons of anhydrous ammonia. More than half of the toxic chemical from inside the tank leaked out. Of the five who died from the exposure, three were members of a family that included an adult and two children under 12-years-old.

The 17-year-old Ohio girl—whose name was concealed since she was a minor—admitted that she passed the truck when driving a minivan. “Oh, (expletive). Yeah. Oh, my goodness. Yep, totally my bad. Wow. Holy (expletive),” she said during an Oct. 2023 Illinois State Police interview, the Associated Press reports.

Inside the minivan were the Ohio teen, her mother and her brother headed to St. Louis. She admitted fault for the accident and estimated she was driving about 90 mph to make sure she had enough clearance to pass the truck. The posted speed limit on US-40 was 55 mph, according to the NTSB.

“It was totally my fault,” she said to NTSB investigators. “I’ve honestly in the past had times when I just don’t use good judgment in judging, like, distances and whether I have enough time for something.”

Throughout the interview, the teen maintained that she had no idea the crash happened until they were preparing to return home. “Nobody said, ‘Oh, the guy behind you drove off the road.’ That would’ve been a huge deal for everybody. We would’ve been like, ‘Oh, (expletive), I just caused something really bad to happen.’”

According to the NTSB, the tanker truck driver attempted to avoid a collision but skidded off the road and ultimately struck a utility trailer, where the hitch punctured the tank and released the anhydrous ammonia, a known lung-damaging agent, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

It was a week of upheaval in the Associated Press college football poll, with Texas returning to No. 1 on Sunday after a one-week absence following Vanderbilt’s monumental upset of Alabama.

The Commodores’ win as more than three-touchdown underdogs caused the Crimson Tide to drop from No. 1 to No. 7. The last top-ranked team to fall so far was Ohio State, which plunged to No. 11 in 2010 after an October loss to Wisconsin.

Texas, which had an open date, received 52 out of 61 first-place votes and became the first team in two years to bounce in and out of the top spot in a span of three polls. The Longhorns also were just the third team since 2008 to be voted No. 1 after not playing the day before.

Ohio State beat Iowa for its fourth straight easy win, received nine first-place votes and moved up a spot to No. 2.

Oregon and Penn State each rose three spots, with the Ducks up to No. 3 and the Nittany Lions fourth. Georgia remained No. 5.

Miami, which came back from a 25-point second-half deficit to beat California 39-38, rose two spots to No. 6.

The mayhem wasn’t limited to Alabama.

Six of the 18 AP Top 25 teams that played lost to unranked opponents (33%), the highest mark since six of 16 (38%) lost the first week of October 2020.

The Crimson Tide were among four teams in the top 11 to lose to unranked opponents — the first time that has happened since October 2016.

Tennessee lost to Arkansas and went from No. 4 to No. 8. Michigan lost at Washington and went from No. 10 to No. 24. USC lost at Minnesota and went from No. 11 to out of the Top 25. The Trojans were first among teams also receiving votes.

Texas A&M soundly beat Missouri at home in the only Top 25 matchup. That earned the Aggies a promotion from a tie for No. 25 to No. 15 and the Tigers a demotion from No. 9 to No. 21.

POLL POINTS

The Big Ten dominates the top five, but the SEC maintains its grip on the top 10. No. 2 Ohio State, No. 3 Oregon and No. 4 Penn State are bookended by the SEC’s Texas and Georgia. The SEC also has Alabama, Tennessee and Ole Miss in the top 10.

Double-digit drops by Missouri, Michigan and USC mark the first time since Nov. 13, 2016, that three teams fell 10 or more spots in the same poll. That week it happened to Auburn (8 to 18), Texas A&M (10 to 23) and North Carolina (15 to receiving votes).

The biggest upward movers were Texas A&M (25 to 15), Clemson (15 to 10) and Iowa State (16 to 11).

WHO’S IN; WHO’S OUT

SMU (5-1) was rewarded for knocking off Louisville on the road and enters the rankings at No. 25. The Mustangs have appeared in the Top 25 all but one season (2022) since 2019. Louisville (3-2) has lost two of three and dropped out.

Pittsburgh won at North Carolina to start 5-0 for the first time since 1991 and enters the rankings at No. 22 for its first appearance in two years.

USC (3-2) has lost two of its first three Big Ten games and is out, as is UNLV, whose first-ever Top 25 appearance was spoiled by an overtime home loss to Syracuse.

CONFERENCE CALL

SEC: 9 (Nos. 1, 5, 7, 8, 9, 13, 15, T-18, 21)
Big Ten: 6 (Nos. 2, 3, 4, T-18, 23, 24)
Big 12: 4 (Nos. T-11, 14, 16, T-18)
ACC: 4 (Nos. 6, 10, 22, 25)
Mountain West: 1 (No. 17)
Independent: 1 (No. T-11)

RANKED VS. RANKED

No. 1 Texas vs. No. 18 Oklahoma (at Dallas): It’s their first head-to-head SEC meeting, and it’s a Top 25 matchup for the sixth time in eight games. The Sooners scored with 15 seconds left last season to hand Texas its only regular-season loss. Both teams are coming off open dates.

No. 2 Ohio State at No. 3 Oregon: Entering the season, this was billed as a midseason preview of the Big Ten championship game. It still could be. The Buckeyes have won nine of 10 previous meetings, the only loss coming in the most recent one (2021).

No. 9 Ole Miss at No. 13 LSU: Huge College Football Playoff implications here. The Rebels and Jaxson Dart prevailed 55-49 last year in a dizzying matchup with Heisman winner Jayden Daniels.
