The Regional Transportation District is limiting service on two busy light rail lines because a fuel tanker crashed into and damaged a bridge near a southeast Denver station on Thanksgiving.

Thursday, at around 1 p.m., a fuel tanker crashed into the Yale Street bridge, located at the Interstate 25 intersection. The single-vehicle crash resulted in fuel spilling onto the roadway and damage to the bridge’s retaining wall near Yale Station, according to an RTD news release.

One person was killled, but it’s not been released publically if it was the driver.

The Yale Station temporarily closed after the crash, but has reopened since.

The southeast Denver light rail station serves the H and E lines. Those routes will experience modified service “while the emergency design efforts and repair work are underway,” RTD officials said in the release.

“Design efforts are currently underway for a more permanent fix,” transit officials said, adding the crash “continues to impact the frequency of light rail trains along the southeast corridor.”

The transportation agency listed service changes as a result of the fuel tanker crash:

• Southbound E Line service will operate every 30 minutes from Denver Union Station to Southmoor Station.
• E Line service between RidgeGate Parkway Station and Southmoor Station will operate every 15 minutes.
• Riders traveling beyond Southmoor Station must transfer to a different E Line train. There is no continuous E Line service between RidgeGate Parkway Station and Denver Union Station.
• The H Line is running on a 30-minute frequency between Florida Station and Southmoor Station.

It is unclear when normal operations will resume, due to the uncertainty behind bridge repair timelines. The E and H lines typically operate light rail trains on 15-minute intervals.
