A Bridge Collapses

A big rig carrying a heavy load on Interstate 5, in Washington State between Seattle and Canada smashed into the span of the bridge causing part of the bridge to collapse. Two vehicles went crashing into the Skagit River. This route is heavily traveled 71,000 vehicles per day and only 2 cars fell into the water. Dan Sligh and his wife driving a pick-up truck were dumped into the freezing waters of the Skagit River. Sligh dislocated his shoulder and had to put it back into place to rescue his wife and they both made it to the top of their car as they waited for help. Once they made it to the top of their truck they noticed there was another man sitting on top of his car. Boats came to their rescue and they were brought to the hospital and are doing fine. A miracle Sligh said "that only three people fell into the water without severe injury."
