A bridge in Brazil collapsed, killing one and spilling sulfuric acid into a river.
A bridge in Brazil collapsed on Sunday, killing at least one person and spilling sulfuric acid into the Tocantins River. The central span of the 533-meter Juscelino Kubitschek de Oliveira Bridge gave way as vehicles were crossing, including a tanker truck carrying sulfuric acid. At least 11 people were involved in the accident, with rescue efforts paused due to the hazardous leak. The bridge, built in 1960, is part of the BR-226 highway connecting Brasília to Belém.
