MOSCOW, May 24 (RIA Novosti) - A bridge over the Skagit River along an interstate highway partially collapsed in the US state of Washington, leaving cars with people in the water, US media reported.
At least two cars were in the water after the collapse occurred at 7 p.m. local time (0200 GMT Friday) on Interstate 5, the main freeway running along the West Coast, NBC News quoted Washington State Patrol as saying.
There were no immediate reports of deaths or injuries, and CNN quoted Washington State Patrol spokesman Trooper Mark Francis as saying he does not expect many casualties or injuries because the bridge is located in a rural area.
Skagit Valley Herald reported a sheriff's office rescue boat arrived at the scene, adding that rescue crews were looking for people in the water, according to Fox News.
