...I-35W bridge collapse victims and their families

My brother's girlfriend, Hil, has a good friend who was in the accident. Here is Hil's account of what happened to her friend...


"Wen was on the bridge. She was in one of the first cars to do down. Her car was about to drive over the crack in the bridge when it all began. Her car then fell forward with various chunks from the bridge (she had to have fallen over one hundred feet at least). She landed on a cement chunk but her car was quickly sinking. The car was upside down but she had remained conscious so she was able to crawl out the window. The cement piece that she was on then began to slip into the water. She had to swim to get to a crooked metal beam and then she crawled out on that up to the street. She had surgery today – her hands and lower arms have been severely cut up. Her Cat Scans all came back good. She had no broken bones. They are worried about her hand mobility so we will see what happens in surgery. "
