WRAY, Colo. (CBS4) - A grain elevator collapsed in Wray and spilled nearly 40,000 bushels of wheat Tuesday afternoon.

The police department managed to snap a photo of the elevator in mid-collapse. They had enough warning to close the surrounding streets.

The co-op is trying to determine what caused the collapse and see if any of the wheat can be salvaged.
