A fire from a broken snowmobile burned and led to the collapse of a century-old covered bridge in Vermont Saturday morning.
A group of snowmobilers had been heading across the bridge on Veilleux Road in Troy, Vermont, when one broke down midway across, according to authorities. The driver noticed flames popping out of one side of the machine, and tried to use snow to put them out, but to no avail.
