Local officials say chemicals are still being removed from the Wacker Chemie plant in Charleston. The plant is shut down while cleanup is underway.

After some protesting and pressure from concerned citizens living in the area, Wacker officials sat down with local emergency management officials in a meeting Monday.  

The plant, which employees about 650 people, is expected to be closed until the first of the year.

The cause of the explosion is still under investigation.

A judge has postponed the second trial of a truck driver charged with killing six people in a 2015 wreck on Interstate 75.

Attorneys will not be traveling to Nashville later this week to select a jury for the now-canceled trial on Monday. Hamilton County Criminal Court Judge Don Poole this morning announced the postponement of the trial, scheduled to begin Monday, and set the next check-up date for Oct. 17.
