Thanks everyone.

The news is gonna get a lot more grim today. Evidently, there were people pinned under concrete & partially under water that the rescue worker were able to get to, but not able to get out. At least 2 people died pinned in their cars after hours of rescue work trying to get them out. I have a cousin that's a Highway Cop that works that area. She was one of the first two police on the scene. She said there were a lot more than 50 cars on the bridge (evidently the media only knows about 50) that went in the water and she expects the death count to rise pretty dramatically. Apparently there are a lot of cars crushed beneath submerged concrete that they cant even really access yet at this point.
