Yesterday a bridge on Washington State I-5 collapsed into the Skagit river after a semi truck collided with a support.  Thankfully no one was killed in the collapse. However in the photos I can see that one of the vehicles that ended up in the water was an orange Subaru Xv.

One of the many reasons Subarus are awesome. Car gets hit by a truck or something (that xv has a LOT of body damage so I'm assuming something hit it pretty hard) it falls off of a bridge, into a river, and the passenger is not only OK, but appears to have grabbed his backpack and climbed out of the vehicle without even a visible scratch.

The bridge collapsed with the car on it. The "truck" hit the bridge not the car. It fell "with" the bridge...
