A bridge over a lake in Arizona partially collapsed on Wednesday after a freight train derailed and caught fire.

The incident happened just before 6:30 a.m. local time in Tempe, located east of Phoenix.

None of the train's crew members were hurt

Some of the train's cars carried lumber and others were tanker cars.

"I turned around to look and got the fright of my life," she told the television station. "Now there's fire pouring into the lake from the middle of the bridge. ... It' looks like a scene from hell, truly. A scene from hell. ... The flames are intense and the sky is filled with black smoke."

Yikes.

For what it’s worth, that picture doesn’t look like it’s over a lake. Awfully narrow for a lake.

The photo is zoomed in on the edge of the lake, and it’s only a “Town Lake”.

This is Arizona. Streams are rivers, puddles are lakes.

Hah! I get that, I live in southern New Jersey where a pitchers mound gets designated as a hill and a hill is called a mountain.

Well, here's the "lake" so the whole thing is pretty much the widest point.
