New bridge construction, road deck fell onto I-35. Looks like a CR England hit the debris and I'm hearing reports of one possible fatality.
Edit: one confirmed fatality

"According to DPS trooper Harper Meyers, a semi truck hit a
bridge support, bringing down the overpass that was under
construction."
Hmmmmmmm ------
Kinda sounds like the CRE Big truck set the chain of events
in motion to begin with resulting in how the event ended.
Tragically.
Sadly.

AfterShock Thanks this.

Washington is taking no blame whatsoever for what hapened on the 5 with that OS load 2 years agom
-
I'm just not seeing any signs of an OS load from the pics, so far.
There's an empty deck flatbed going opposite direction of the CRE, but no signs of strapping/securement hanging off his rub-rails.
Unless the OS load is outside of the pic's view?UKJ Thanks this. -
