    The Washington State Patrol says the Interstate 5 bridge over the Skagit River at Mount Vernon has collapsed, dumping vehicles and people into the water.

    Edited by SR, just leave a link for AP items. Thx.

    It's been a long road and not all of it was paved.

    A bridge across that important a highway should never be in the position to fail, outside of a powerful earthquake.
