Colorado Train Derailment: Fatal Bridge Collapse Forces I-25 Closure
Federal investigators have begun investigating a train derailment and bridge collapse in Pueblo County, Colorado, that resulted in the death of a truck driver and the closure of Interstate 25. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) estimates that it may take up to two years to determine the cause of the incident, with an initial report expected within a month. The closure of the interstate is expected to last for several days, as the NTSB completes its on-site inspection. Questions remain regarding the ownership and responsibility for the bridge. State officials are working to confirm who owns the bridge, which was not covered by federal inspection rules.
