        No the operator was being stupid.

        Just saying this was a truck being used for what it’s actually intended for having an accident due to operator error.

    I saw a YouTube video where someone who lives next to a covered bridge clipped together every truck that ignored the clearance signs and damaged the bridge. The description said there’s a $5k fine for that.

    The comments were full of, “This is a scam! They need to fix that bridge”. Americans are so broken that personal freedom is now the right to destroy historic bridges without consequences.

      “This bridge can’t accommodate your ridiculous treat-truck and we will fine you if you break it.”

      Pickup owners: “tHiS iS a ScAm”

      I bet these same people post comments like “fuck around, find out” and “should have listened” on videos of people getting shot by the cops for not following their orders one hundred percent.

    Article link

    https://www.thedrive.com/news/overweight-ford-f-750-plunges-through-historic-wooden-bridge-in-maine

    Based on the images, the bridge gave way almost immediately under the weight of the truck. The driver suffered minor injuries but was able to exit the vehicle on his own. Luckily, no one else was hurt, considering the area is popular with swimmers and kayakers.

    This was a commercial truck meant for heavy loads. They are sometimes used as dump trucks. It should have been obvious that it wouldn’t get across that bridge.

    lol, I was assuming that it would be in the middle of the bridge, but that happened, like, immediately. I don’t even think the whole thing was on there yet…

    Also, it’s hard to say for sure, but that wood looks in pretty solid condition too. Did the article include the weight of the truck and weight limit of the bridge?

      https://www.thedrive.com/news/overweight-ford-f-750-plunges-through-historic-wooden-bridge-in-maine

      The weight limit of the bridge was 3 tons, which likely wouldn’t even support an empty F-750, and the article mentions that the truck was hauling a load of crushed gravel. The bridge might as well have been made of paper.
