Brazil's Navy finds the body of the 13th victim of a river bridge collapse; 4 are still missing
Brazil’s Navy said on Friday that it has found the body of the 13th victim from a bridge collapse last month in the country's north. Four people remain missing.
The body, which is still to be identified, was found by drones in the depths of the Tocantins River. A section of the Juscelino Kubitschek de Oliveira bridge linking two northern states crumbled on Dec. 22.
Police operating on the border of the two states, Maranhao and Tocantins, have said that four trucks, two cars and two motorcycles plunged into the river when the bridge collapsed.
