Tragic Train Derailment Claims Life and Closes Colorado Interstate

Interstate 25 is closed indefinitely after a BNSF Railway train carrying coal derailed near Pueblo, Colorado, resulting in the death of a semi-truck driver. The derailment caused coal to spill onto the highway, and a bridge over I-25 collapsed, crushing a semi-truck. The cause of the derailment and bridge collapse is still unknown. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the incident, and BNSF is sending heavy equipment for cleanup. Motorists are advised to avoid the area, and detours have been set up. This is the second coal train derailment in Colorado in the past two months.
