MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Human remains were found near the site of the bridge collapse Sunday morning, authorities said.
The Hennepin County medical examiner was working to identify the remains recovered by water teams in the Mississippi River, the sheriff’s office said. A vehicle also was removed from the crumpled Interstate 35W bridge.
There have been no new remains identified since Thursday, leaving the number of dead from the Aug. 1 collapse at 11. The two people remaining on the list of missing are Scott Sathers, 29, of Maple Grove, and Greg Jolstad, 45, of Mora.
Bad weather on Saturday had hampered recovery efforts at the site of the collapse.
