From Times Wire Reports
Canadian rescue workers found five people crushed to death after working through the night to reach two cars buried under the rubble of an overpass that collapsed onto an expressway near Montreal.
The overpass came crashing down Saturday afternoon, trapping several vehicles, an hour after a Quebec Transport Ministry worker investigating reports of falling debris had determined there was no need to close the road, government officials said.
Quebec officials have called for a public inquiry of the incident.
