SAO PAULO (AP) — A woman's body has been found after a bridge linking two northern states in Brazil collapsed, bringing the death toll so far to nine. Brazil’s navy said on Friday that the body was found 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) from the Juscelino Kubitschek de Oliveira Bridge. Another eight people remain unaccounted for.

A bridge linking two northern states in Brazil collapsed, sending cars and trucks plunging into the river below. A sulphuric acid spill is complicating the rescue operation.

Authorities in Brazil on Thursday said the risk of acid pollution from a bridge collapse in the country's north has been contained, as they raised the death toll from the disaster to eight.A local government environment official,
