A train carrying BMWs from an automaking plant in South Carolina, derailed damaging 97 vehicles, authorities said.

Multiple media organizations report that train carrying nearly 100 autos was on its way to Charleston from BMW's plant in Greer when it derailed Sunday afternoon near the state capital of Columbia.

Officials say no one was hurt but that two locomotives also were damaged, along with the cars.
