A bridge connecting the northern and northeastern regions of Brazil collapsed on Sunday, killing at least one person and spilling sulfuric acid into the Tocantins River. The incident occurred on the Juscelino Kubitschek de Oliveira Bridge, which links the cities of Estreito in Maranhão state and Aguiarnópolis in Tocantins state. The 533-meter (0.3-mile) bridge’s central span gave way in the afternoon while several vehicles, including a tanker truck, were crossing. n18oc_world n18oc_crux
