Bridge collapse tears through Susquehanna span at Havre de Grace
A six hundred foot span of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Bridge over the Susquehanna collapsed this morning at Havre de Grace Maryland. Twelve coal cars plunged into the river and a watchman from the American Bridge Company, William Wilson, was killed or gravely injured. Officials suspect dynamite but offer no definite cause. Traffic was rerouted via Pennsylvania and New Jersey Central lines with no through delay. The bridge, rebuilt and double tracked, dates to the 1880s and spans about 1700 feet with Garrett Island between spans. The accident halted only local work but left wreckage and damaged telegraph lines in its wake.
