Collision closes bridge, suspending truck over river

LOWNDES COUNTY, Miss. (WCBI) – A major bridge is reopened and traffic is moving again after a late afternoon wreck.

It was a scary scene along the bridge on Highway 50 in Columbus after a chain reaction crash.

A dodge pick up was seen partially hanging from the bridge near the Lowndes and Clay County line.

Master Sgt. Criss Turnipseed says the dodge pick up was heading west on Highway 50 when it hydroplaned landing side ways.

That’s when another truck heading east hit the dodge and another truck rear ended the two causing the dodge to end up on the bridge.

Four people were taken to the Baptist Golden Triangle with minor injuries.
