Train derailment in Yellowstone river.
A freight train has caused a fright in Montana after derailing into the Yellowstone River following an overnight bridge collapse.
The bridge crumbled and sent portions of the train, including some cars potentially carrying hazardous material, plunging into the water below.
“I’m monitoring the train derailment in Stillwater County, and the state is standing by to support as Montana Rail Link and county officials assess their needs,” Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte said Saturday on Twitter.
“There is no immediate threat to Yellowstone County,” the Yellowstone County Sheriff’s Office posted to social media, adding, “Precautions are being put in place.”
