cars into the water*

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - A freeway bridge spanning the Mississippi River
collapsed during evening rush hour Wednesday, sending many cars into the
water.

Tons of concrete collapsed and there were injuries, authorities said.
Survivors were being carried up the riverbank.

Some people were stranded on parts of the bridge that weren't completely
submerged.

The entire span of the Interstate 35W bridge collapsed about 6:05 p.m.
where the freeway crosses the river near University Avenue in Minneapolis.
