PHOETO CAPTION: “A FedEx truck lies beneath iron support beams that fell when a bridge that was under construction collapsed near Oroville, Calif., on Tuesday. Firefighters swarmed the FedEx delivery truck to cut its driver from underneath a large steel beam that crushed the hood but missed the cab. A second beam landed on the back of the truck. The cause of the collapse was being investigated.”
