Roads reopened after train derails, destroys bridge in Boulder, Colo.

Aug. 23 (UPI) -- Boulder, Colo., police Friday said all roads closed by a Thursday night' BNSF train derailment are reopened. Two crew members had minor injuries and a rail bridge was destroyed, according to police.

Initial reports that two trains had collided were inaccurate. Just one train derailed.

"Good news! ALL the roads are now reopened!, " Boulder Police said on X. "The BNSF Railway has now taken the lead on the train wreck that happened last night."

Police have not said what caused the train to derail close to 48th Street and Arapahoe Avenue north of Boulder Community health Hospital.

BNSF Railway is investigating the cause, which is expected to take at least several days.

Several roads were closed when the one-mile long train derailed. They were reopened Friday morning.

There was initial concern that fuel may have spilled and leaked into Boulder Creek , but officials later said they believed sand spilled in the derailment absorbed the fuel and it did not go into the water.

Xcel Energy worked to repair a power line hit by the train.
