Mount Vernon, Wash. A truck carrying an oversize load struck the four-lane bridge on the major
thoroughfare between Seattle and Canada, sending a section of the span and two vehicles into the Skagit
River below Thursday evening. All three occupants suffered only minor injuries. At an overnight news
conference, Washington State Patrol Chief John Batiste blamed the collapse on a tractor-trailer carrying
a tall load that hit an upper part of the span. (AP Photo/Elaine
