Deadliest Bridge Collapse in Washington State History

On Wednesday, January 3rd, 1923, Cowlitz County Commissioner-Elect Benjamin Barr sat in the back seat of his vehicle, when his driver - Arleigh Millard - felt an unsettling shudder through the springs in his seat. Millard glanced nervously at Barr through the rear-view mirror, unable to move the vehicle forward. The pair were stuck atop the Allen Street Bridge in Kelso, Washington, when seconds later it all came crashing down, resulting in the deadliest bridge collapse in Washington State History.
