Family narrowly avoids Minneapolis bridge disaster
Brad Frisch of Carbondale delayed his 12-year-old Bailey for a shower before visiting his daughter in St. Paul. The family, in Minneapolis for an Amateur Softball Association tournament with 12 Rockford girls and about 60 relatives, would have crossed the I 35W bridge at the fatal time if not for the postponement. They learned of the collapse via a restaurant TV and expressed shock yet focused on the other families and their game ahead.
