A bridge being built over a major Baltimore-Washington artery near Laurel, Md., collapsed during rush hour as workers poured its concrete deck, trapping several motorists beneath debris and injuring 14 people, authorities said. Kimberly Anderson of Elkridge, who was listed in critical condition with multiple injuries, was one of five commuters in two cars that were caught under a hail of wet concrete, metal and wood on the Baltimore-Washington Parkway. None of the other victims, including nine construction workers, had serious injuries, authorities said.
