Seven injured in Missouri as trains collide, trigger highway bridge collapse

[Ichingcarpenter]

Two freight trains collided and derailed early Saturday in southeast Missouri, then triggered the collapse of a highway overpass when several rail cars struck a support pillar.


Seven people were injured, including two personnel on the trains and five individuals in cars on the overpass on Highway M near Scott City, about 120 miles south of St. Louis, NBC affiliate KSDK reported. All the injured were hospitalized and listed in fair condition.
The collision occurred before dawn at a rail intersection.

1. What the hell? Didn't we just have a train collision and bridge collapse?

Now we have the same in one incident.

Just weird, isn't it?

Glad everyone survived.

Hopefully this isn't a trilogy.
