Missouri Overpass Collapse Injures 7

Seven people were injured Saturday in Missouri when two freight trains collided and then caused a highway overpass to collapse. Railroad officials said 12 Union Pacific cars derailed, striking an overpass pillar. Police dispatcher Clay Slipis said five people in two vehicles were taken to a nearby hospital, as well as a Union Pacific conductor and an engineer. Six of the injured were released Saturday and the seventh was in good condition, Slipis said.
