(January 11, 2008)--The international bridge between Pharr and Reynosa, Mexico, remained closed Friday morning after a fiery overnight crash that killed four people and injured six others on the Rio Grande span.
The wreck occurred shortly after nightfall Thursday.
Investigators say a van burst into flames when it was hit by two 18-wheelers traveling in opposite directions on the bridge.
Pharr police Lt. Lupe Salinas says the driver of the van was killed and both 18-wheelers caught fire, but the truck drivers escaped with minor injuries.
Three men died after their pickup truck plunged from the bridge and landed on a road below.
Hidalgo County Justice of the Peace Rosa Trevino says the men were Mexican nationals in their mid-30s.
A minivan was also involved in the wreck, but its occupants suffered only minor injuries.
