<\/p>\n AP<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>\n A train derailed in Montana this weekend, causing a bridge over a river to collapse … which now has officials worried that a hazardous spill is in making its way through the water.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n The accident happened early Saturday morning, when a freight train went crashing into the Yellowstone River … for reasons that have yet to be determined. Several rail cars are partially submerged in the water — and word is, some of them are carrying toxic materials.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n AP<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>\n One of those chemicals is reported to stem from petroleum products — some have said it’s actually asphalt and other slow-moving liquids that have yet to be identified. The authorities have said they fear some of that may have started to seep into the river — which feeds into the water supply for nearby residents. A full assessment is currently underway.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n While there’s no official word on a bona fide threat … some citizens in Yellowstone\/Stillwater Counties have reportedly been told to limit their water usage for the time being.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n As you can imagine, emergency crews are on the scene and attempting to clean up what they can. Federal and state lawmakers are also responding en masse — saying they’re monitoring the situation and working with the appropriate experts to get it under control.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Of course, this is far from the only train derailment<\/strong><\/a> that’s made news in the past year or so — the one that went down earlier this year in East Palestine turned out to be a disaster.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/p>\n
