Shortly after I arrived at work and settled in for what I thought was sure to be an incredibly slow Monday afternoon, I was startled by a frantic desk editor who instructed me to drop everything and follow up on a hot piece of breaking news.
Around 2PM on Monday afternoon a call came across the scanner that a bridge had collapsed in Nampa, and roughly 25 cars or people were involved in some way or another (or at least that is the information I was given).
As additional information became available I learned that the bridge that had collapsed was actually a prefabricated section of overpass which had not yet been installed over the interstate. You see, the idea (as I understand it) is that they build the bridge in sections on site and once completed they put them into place over the interstate.
Unfortunately 14 workers were involved in the accident, however, none of them were fatally injured.
I produced a quick little slideshow that you can check out here.
