Pileups and bridge collapse disrupt Memorial Day travel
A string of pileups on Interstate 68 in Maryland and an overpass collapse on Interstate 80 in Nebraska shut major routes over the holiday weekend. Nearly 30 vehicles were involved on I-68 with two dead and dozens injured. An overpass on I-80 collapsed after a tractor trailer struck it, killing its 47-year-old driver Douglas Lohmeyer of Blue Springs, Nebraska. Road crews planned round-the-clock work to reopen the highways, with I-80 expected to resume by Monday.
