Bridge collapse reminds locals of North Carolina event

READ MORE:
WINSTON-SALEM (AP) -- The families of the missing are worried in Minneapolis after the Interstate bridge collapse, but some families in North Carolina are recalling a bridge collapse 32 years ago. The Siloam Bridge on the Surry-Yadkin County border fell in 1975 and killed four people, including a baby that fell into the water. About 16 people were hurt when the bridge over the Yadkin River went down. The bridge was rebuilt and renamed the Atkinson-Needham Memorial Bridge to honor some victims.
