The Brief

EUSTIS, Fla. - A bridge collapse in Lake County has left dozens of families stranded and unable to return home after a recent storm caused extensive structural damage.

The bridge served as the only access point to several homes in Spring Ridge Estates in Eustis, cutting off vehicle access entirely.

The backstory:

The bridge collapse occurred during a severe storm that swept through the area, damaging the only road connecting several homes.

Residents like Devona Alwine assumed their homeowners or flood insurance would help cover the costs. However, insurance adjusters later told them the bridge is considered outside their property coverage limits, leaving them to pay out of pocket for access restoration.
