In Port Isabel, Tex., runaway barges crashed into the Queen Isabella Causeway in the early morning darkness when a tugboat lost control of them. Two support pilings were knocked out, causing a section of the bridge to tumble into the water, according to the Federal Highway Administration. Eight people died when motorists, unwarned and unable to see the chasm created by the collapse, drove off the gap.
