5/23/13  Crosstrek is one of  the three cars that went into the Skagit River when the I-5 bridge collapsed. Everyone is ok.
The bridge crossing the Skagit River in Burlington, Wa, (just north of Mt Vernon), collapsed sending 3 vehicles into the river. I-5 is the main North-South interstate and a very busy highway. The Skagit River Bridge carries around 70,000-75,000 cars daily.  It fell after one of the girders was struck by an semi.  There are a few other bridges nearby but they're street bridges not intended to carry the volume the Skagit Bridge did. 3 cars went into the water, thankfully everyone is ok.
One of the cars was a tangerine orange Crosstrek. There's some body damage in addition to being dumped in the river. The driver was rescued from the top of the car. The local dealer in the area is Skagit Subaru.

That's an orange Crosstrek in the Skagit River. The roof and right side roof rail is damaged and the side airbag is deployed against the driver's window.
