MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - An interstate bridge jammed with rush-hour
traffic suddenly broke into huge sections and collapsed into the
Mississippi River Wednesday, pitching dozens of cars 60 feet into
the water and killing at least seven people.
Minneapolis Fire Chief Jim Clack said more than least 60 people
were injured and the death toll could rise.
The eight-lane Interstate 35W bridge, a major Minneapolis
artery, was in the midst of being repaired and had several lanes
closed when it crumbled.
