Canadian River bridge near Francis remains intact after washout report
Haywood Tolbert, who lost his Ford yesterday trying to cross the Canadian River, was believed to cause the washout report. News crews found the low water bridge still passable with water over the structure, though driftwood and high water caused Tolbert to misjudge the crossing. Workmen cleared the bridge of debris, search for Tolbert’s car continued, traffic may resume by tomorrow morning.
