Californian bridge collapse kills worker
Published:  December 04, 2003

A worker died and six were injured when part of a bridge under construction collapsed yesterday in Napa, California. Beams and timber fell 25m, taking the people with them. The bridge is being built to replace the existing Maxwell Bridge over the Napa River. The US$30 million scheme is designed to relieve a traffic bottleneck, improve flood safety and give better access for large boats.
