FWD: SKAGIT RIVER: A BRIDGE TOO FAR
FWD: SKAGIT RIVER BRIDGE COLLAPSE
SEATTLE--A highway bridge has reportedly collapsed in the US state of Washington, sending at least two cars with people inside into the water.
The Interstate 5 Skagit River Bridge, about 100 kilometres north of Seattle, collapsed on Thursday evening, KIRO-TV reported.
Rescue teams are currently searching the river for survivors.
Both the north-bound and south-bound lanes of the bridge dropped into the river about 7pm, Washington State Patrol trooper Mark Francis wrote in a tweet.
He said several cars were on the bridge when it collapsed, and they were now in the water.
It was unclear whether anyone was injured or killed in the collapse.
SEATTLE POST--
The Interstate 5 bridge over the Skagit River collapsed Thursday evening.
It was not immediately clear how many people were killed or injured in the collapse, which blocked traffic on the busy interstate indefinitely.
Both the northbound and southbound portions of the bridge dropped into the river shortly before 7 p.m., Washington State Patrol trooper Mark Francis told KOMO/4 news. Francis said several cars were on the bridge when it collapsed, and some are now in the water.
Traffic was being diverted around the span, which crosses the Northwest’s third largest river. Bridges east and south of the span were expected to pick up much of the traffic.

ROBERT WILSON--PIPE BOMB AFICIONADO--ARRESTED
Busted in Palms following traffic stop
FROM LA TIMES:
"He's not in any federal databases, not associated with any groups or gangs," Downing said. "He's just kind of a loner and it was probably more experimental."
FROM LA TIMES:
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A police bomb squad detonated 17 homemade explosive devices found in an apartment on Wednesday after officers spotted an explosive liquid in a man's car during a routine traffic stop, authorities said.
Robert Wilson, 29, was booked on felony possession of a destructive device, police Sgt. Rudy Lopez said. Authorities said there were no signs he planned to use the devices. They believe he acted alone and had no apparent link to terrorism.
Wilson was described as a "hobbyist, lone wolf, tweaker" on probation for a weapons violation, said Los Angeles police Deputy Chief Michael Downing, who heads the department's counter-terrorism and special operations bureau. A small amount of methamphetamine was also found in his apartment.
"He's not in any federal databases, not associated with any groups or gangs," Downing said. "He's just kind of a loner and it was probably more experimental."
Wilson built the explosives because he was curious about them, Sgt. Frank Preciado said.
