Firefighters hose down engine of crushed car to prevent fire.
Contractors had just flashed a red light stopping the vehicles behind Rebecca Stumpf's car traveling east on Trindle Road Tuesday around 10 a.m. The cars were stopped because workers had to allow some trucks across the roadway while they conducted a reconstruction of the westbound section of the Route 581 overpass. The contractors planned to remove it later in the day. They never got the chance. As Mrs. Stumpf passed under the bridge, the beam buckled at a point just over the eastbound lane, slipped off the abutments and crashed onto the Silver Spring Township woman's car.
