Bridge is an old bridge that was classified as deficient because of narrows lanes, low clearance etc. I'm sorry, but if 1 truck hitting part of the bridge can make it collapse, I would not feel safe driving on it. What if there was a 5 car accident and everyone hit some part of that bridge. It should be structurally strong enough to take a hit from something without collapsing.
The Load that hit the bridge was a huge ferrocement object that was both too high and too wide, the driver failed to be in the center of the highway where it would have cleared. taking out the top structure failed the whole bridge section.
the truck was from Canada where the no fault insurance will pay the bills.
