    Sorry if this has been posted already, but I couldn't find anywhere here.

    This morning approximately 5:15 am there was a Model A or so coupe that looked like it had rolled near a bridge just south of Woodland, WA. on the northbound side of I-5.
    I heard of the wreck on Portland news this morning but no details. One of my drivers that travels between Longview and Vancouver said he saw the car being loaded on the flatbed. He said it looked like it had hit the bridge and then a concrete jersey barrier. Two ambulances headed to Portland. Don't know the details, can't find anything on the internet/news locally.
    Hope the people are all right.

    Maybe someone heading to Canada for the 32 gathering?

    Could have been. My driver thought it was a 32. It was a black sedan, not a coupe. It was upside down at the end of the bridge when he went through southbound. That would put it about 5:30 am.

    Wow, hope everybody is alright. You never like seeing vintage iron getting torn up, but those bodies can be rebuilt, the human ones can't.

    Sorry I can't upload either as they are bitmap images :(


    Looks...like a cast axle broken inboard of the perch pin. Can't tell if it was after the crash, but that may be how it broke

    it appears that the snap is also about the same spot that impacted with whatever the car hit, could have been caused by the impact, and may not be the cause of the accident.

    Man, that car has been around for ages. It was always full fendered but he just recently pulled the fenders. I hope the passengers are okay and I hope the car is repairable. What a shame...

    Ouch. I hope everyone is OK. Even the transverse spring broke.....at about the same spot that the axle broke.
