Still 15 missing in Turkey bridge collapse

Helicopters were at the scene of a bridge collapse in Turkey that killed at least one person and left more than a dozen missing, officials said Sunday. Ten of the missing were believed to have been riding in a minibus that fell into the fast-moving Filyos River in Zonguldak province Friday when one lane of the two-lane bridge broke free and crashed into the water. "Neither the minibus nor any bodies have been found yet," Labor Minister Faruk Celik told Sunday's Zaman. "There are also efforts to lift the collapsed part of the bridge, but the task is made difficult by the high water level." One body was discovered Sunday and two motorists were saved shortly after the collapse, the newspaper said. The cause of the collapse was not known.
