So some facts here:

Commercial truck carrying gravel
This was a rebuilt bridge, not a historic one
The owner of the construction company has proactively offered to pay for repairs
Yes, the driver is am idiot and made a mistake, and is probably going to hear about it for the rest of their lives.

The couple that were driving the truck died, and thier house was sold to a new family, who they haunted.

I hope it's good. I have a hard time not seeing Wynona Rider as a crazy person now though.

Too late!

Gravel? Holy shit, that’s poor judgement. How can you be comfortable driving such a big truck over a wooden bridge, then add potentially tons of gravel?

As they should. They either ignored the signage and/or were oblivious to the weight they were driving around. Both major safety issues. They should have their license suspended for a bit and potentially banned from a cdl.

This isn't an "oopsie," this is negligence.
