A bridge over the Yellowstone River in Montana collapsed, causing a freight train Carrying Hazardous Materials to partially plunge into the flooded river below. The train cars were carrying asphalt and sulfur, and officials shut down drinking water intakes downstream while they evaluated the danger. Railroad crews were at the scene in Stillwater County, and the cause of the collapse is under investigation. No injuries were reported, and the hazardous material was being diluted by the swollen river. The incident occurred in a sparsely populated area in the Yellowstone River Valley, about 110 miles northeast of Yellowstone National Park.
