Missouri River Bridge Crash Causes Hours-Long Closure of I-70.

A crash involving a cattle trailer, a pickup, and at least four other vehicles caused a traffic jam on the Missouri River bridge west of Columbia. Wrecker crews had to unload the cattle from the hauler before it could be moved out of the way, and firefighters had to spray down and cool the animals. The other tractor trailer involved in the crash was hauling pallets of Bud Ice beer, some of which spilled onto the bridge deck and likely into the water below. The highway reopened around 3:45 p.m. and emergency crews have not yet reported any injuries.
