A train derailment sent more than a dozen cars off the tracks east of Saskatoon Wednesday evening.

Cleanup crews were at the scene near the community of Clavet for hours.

Canadian Pacific Railway confirmed 17 cars in a westbound freight left the tracks near the area.

A spokesperson said twelve were empty, while five were loaded with cement.

No one was hurt and the derailed cars did not block any roads.
