Bridge collapses into Mississippi River during rush hour
A major interstate bridge between Minneapolis and St Paul collapsed during rush hour sending vehicles, concrete and twisted metal into the Mississippi River. At least six people were killed and dozens injured as about 50 vehicles plunged from the structure built in 1967. Emergency crews treated 28 injured at area hospitals, with children and bus occupants among the evacuees.
