MOUNT VERNON, Wash. -- The Interstate 5 bridge over the Skagit River collapsed Thursday evening, injuring a unknown number of people.
Both the northbound and southbound portions of the bridge dropped into the river sometime before 7 p.m., according to Washington State Patrol trooper Mark Francis.
Francis said several cars were on the bridge when it collapsed, and many are now in the water.
It's unclear how many people were injured or killed in the collapse.

This is an irrational fear of mine. I know the chances of our bridges collapsing are next to impossible but it's always in the back of my mind when crossing or going under a bridge.
