Search continues at collapsed
bridge, fifth victim identified
| PORT ISABEL, Texas (AP) — Sonar is now being used
to probe the bottom of the Laguna Madre as state
police divers search for three people and two vehicles
still missing since the Queen Isabella Causeway to
South Padre Island collapsed from a barge gollision.
Five deaths have been confirmed so far from the
weekend collapse, and five vehicles have been
retrieved. A sixth, unoccupied, vehicle was visible but
trapped in sunken chunks of roadway.
One of the two vehicles retrieved Tuesday contained
the body of 32-year-old Hector Martinez of Port
Isabel, the fifth of the known victims, said Trooper
Adrian Rivera, a Texas Department of Public Safety
spokesman.
BRIEF
State troopers had earlier identified as victims Port
Isabel Fire Chief Robert Harris, 46; Stvan Rivas, 22;
Robin Leavell, 29; and Giaspar Hinojosa.
“We’re using the best available equipment that we
have,” said Coast Guard spokesman Patrick Culver.
Coast Guard crews in boats and helicopters have
panned the area to no avail, concentrating on the north
where currents tend tfl flow. The search was to resume
Wednesday morning.
Culver, asked how far the vehicles could have drifted
from the site, said, ‘‘In my experience anything is pos
sible. They could be drifting both ways.”
The barge wreck closed the only bridge to the South
Padre Island resort that has become a vacation desti
nation for Texas residents as well as midwestern col
lege students, “Winter Texans” from northern states
and Mexican nationals.
