    Napa bridge collapse kills worker By PAUL PAYNE
    Authorities said several workers were adjusting jacks between two large supports underneath the bridge when eight steel beams and several tons of wood fell. The workers were trying to align the container into which a concrete deck section would be poured with previously built deck sections when 'something went wrong,' city spokesman Barry Martin said.

    Four workers were on top of the structure and four were below when it fell.

    Two workers standing on the deck were injured as they 'rode the collapse to the ground,' said Darren Drake of the Napa Fire Department.
