Oklahoma bridge collapse traps vessels and injures several
A section of Interstate 40 bridge over the Arkansas River collapsed in Oklahoma, sending cargo, cars, and a horse trailer into the water. Cranes stabilize the site as divers search, with at least five hospital cases and reports of up to 15 vehicles in the river. Governor Keating noted the crash may involve a seizure by the towboat captain Joe Dedman of Florence Mississippi, while preliminary tests show no alcohol or drugs. Recovery efforts paused after the Sunday incident, with six months expected to rebuild.
