It could be days or even weeks before Interstate 25 near Pueblo, Colorado is fully open following a weekend coal train derailment that tumbled off an overpass and onto a semi-truck, killing the driver.
Federal investigators were on the site Monday, probing the derailment and the collapse of the 65-year old bridge. The crash killed a 60-year old truck driver who was passing under the overpass at the time of the derailment. Reports indicated I-25 in both directions could remain closed for longer than a week.
It could also take up to two years for investigators with the Naitonal Transportation Safety Board to complete their probe and release a final cause for the Sunday accident. The crash site cannot be cleaned up and the Interstate reopened until investigators conclude their on-site inspection.
