A freight train carrying hazardous materials plunged into the Yellowstone River after a bridge collapsed on Saturday.
A bridge that crosses the Yellowstone River in Montana collapsed early Saturday, plunging portions of a freight train carrying hazardous materials into the rushing water below.
The train crew was safe and no injuries were reported, Montana Rail Link spokesman Andy Garland said in a statement. The asphalt and sulfur both solidify quickly when exposed to cooler temperatures, he said. The bridge collapse also took out a fiber-optic cable providing internet service to many customers in the state, the high-speed provider Global Net said.
The cause of the collapse is under investigation. The river was swollen with recent heavy rains, but it's unclear whether that was a factor.
