Oregon: A trestle bridge collapsed while a freight train was crossing on Saturday, sending a railcar carrying urea into Mary’s River, according to the Portland & Western Railroad (PNWR).
A spokesperson for PNWR confirmed that the 19-car train was crossing the railroad bridge when it collapsed, but that there were no reported injuries.
Residents are asked to avoid the area.
The Corvallis Police Department also asked people to avoid entering Mary’s River until further notice, as urea may have entered the water.

The message was not authentic, with the real Zelenskiy soon denying the claim on his official Telegram channel, but the incident highlighted a major problem: disinformation quickly spreads unchecked on the encrypted app. Anastasia Vlasova/Getty Images False news often spreads via public groups, or chats, with potentially fatal effects. The War on Fakes channel has repeatedly attempted to push conspiracies that footage from Ukraine is somehow being falsified. One post on the channel from February 24 claimed without evidence that a widely viewed photo of a Ukrainian woman injured in an airstrike in the city of Chuhuiv was doctored and that the woman was seen in a different photo days later without injuries. The post, which has over 600,000 views, also baselessly claimed that the woman's blood was actually makeup or grape juice. Individual messages can be fully encrypted.
