Damn. The posted limit on the bridge is 3 tons. The truck empty weighs 4.5 tons and they were hauling a full load of gravel. What an idiot. They better yank the driver's commercial license because he obviously wasn't reading any signs.

I used to live near a few covered bridges, and trucks would always be doing shit like this. They'd either be overweight and cause damage to the bridge (though never this bad) or they'd be too tall and drive off with part of the bridge attached.
