Bridge Beam Falls, Kills Driver On Freeway

A 10-ton bridge beam fell and sent construction debris crashing onto a freeway early Thursday, killing a man on his way to work and injuring a construction worker.

Anjule Quintania, 36, was in his minivan near the intersection of interstates 405 and 710 when the debris rained down on the vehicle, the California Highway Patrol said.

A construction crew was moving the 66-foot beam when the weight shifted, causing it to hit a second beam that struck scaffolding and fell.

The construction worker fell onto the freeway and broke his foot.
