The latest information, gleaned from the news while driving home, is that 8 cars derailed (four down the embankment at the Laval end of the bridge), and the bridge is damaged. One report has it as a $5 million problem. The plan is to remove the cars tomorrow, and they'll be able to do a better inspection then.
