According to the Biloxi Sun Herald, a tugboat company named as a defendant in a personal injury lawsuit stemming from a bridge collapse has been dropped from the case. In 2007, a bridge that was under construction collapsed into Mississippi's Bay St. Louis. Two workers died in the incident, and others were injured when they plunged 50 feet into the bay. The lawsuit claimed that a tugboat had crashed into a support column, weakening the structure. The boat company contested the claim, and the judge concurred and dropped it from the case. The Biloxi Sun Herald reports that surviving workers are suing the 7 remaining defendants for negligence resulting in physical and psychological injuries.
