Wheeling Bridge Collapse Leaves Three Construction Workers Injured

Three workers were hospitalized after the Washington Avenue Bridge in Wheeling collapsed during construction activity.
The bridge had been closed for repairs, and crews were working on the structure when it suddenly gave way along with heavy equipment.
Emergency responders rescued the workers from the debris, with one sustaining serious injuries.
State and local officials began assessing what occurred during the project to determine how the collapse happened.

A construction worker died at the Converse Elementary School project site while employed by a third‑party contractor.
First responders were dispatched immediately, and officials secured the area to prevent additional hazards.
Judson Independent School District, which oversees the campus, said it is cooperating with investigators reviewing the incident.
Authorities have not released the worker’s identity, and the medical examiner will determine the cause and manner of death.

A store employee in Lehi was severely injured during a robbery at Mad Man’s Hobby Store when suspects fled in a pickup truck.
Police said the worker was struck and dragged by the vehicle after attempting to intervene outside the store.
He sustained multiple broken bones and extensive injuries before being taken to the hospital.
Officers later identified the suspects and continued their investigation into the incident.
