A hazmat unit is making a diesel fuel leak from a truck less severe that is partially beneath the bridge as seen in the video below.  Fire officials say at least one vehicle was hit by debris and there are collapsed blocks in both directions of the road.

The bridge collapse took place at Rt. 295 at Kenilworth Avenue and Polk Street in Northeast DC. We’ll keep you updated as more information becomes available.
