Overpass collapses on Ohio highway

CINCINNATI (AP) — A collapsed overpass covered southbound lanes of Interstate 75 with hundreds of tons of concrete and steel Tuesday, following a construction accident that killed a worker and injured a tractor-trailer driver.

Authorities identified the worker as Brandon William Carl, 35, of Augusta, Kentucky. The Hamilton County coroner’s office will do an autopsy to determine cause of death; Cincinnati fire officials say the body was recovered from debris some four hours after the accident Monday night.

The tractor-trailer driver suffered minor injuries when his rig ran into the collapsed section of overpass, which was being demolished. His name wasn’t released.

Cincinnati authorities said casualties could have been much higher had the accident occurred during the day.
