Officials say a freight train traveling on a bridge that spans Tempe Town Lake in metro Phoenix has derailed, setting the bridge on fire and partially collapsing the structure.
Video this morning showed huge flames and thick black smoke rising into the air. A spokesperson for Union Pacific Railroad says none of the train’s crew members were hurt but there was a report of someone suffering from smoke inhalation. Some of the train’s cars carried lumber and others were tank cars. There were no immediate reports of any hazardous leaks.
