Georgia State Patrol Says Truck Hit Bridge Because Bed Was Up
A dump truck driver killed when his dump truck crashed into a bridge in Georgia last week has been charged with commercial license and traffic violations. Authorities are still investigating what caused the truck to hit the bridge and the reason for the accident.

A dump truck was traveling west on Interstate 16 when it suddenly slammed into the overpass and caused the bridge to shift more than six feet.
The crash caused traffic on the highway to be shut down for several hours and shut down a section of the interstate. Drivers were advised to take alternate routes after seeing the accident on their news feeds.
The crash is believed to have caused structural damage to the bridge, so the overpass needs to be demolished to reopen.
The accident closed both directions of I-16 and detoured traffic for the day. The bridge deck was shifted six feet over the interstate and had to be replaced.
The accident has caused severe traffic backups in the area. It has closed the westbound lane between Macon and Savannah.
This lane is vital for safety and freight traffic. While the roadway is closed, it is expected to reopen Saturday afternoon.
GDOT crews shifted traffic in the area and prepared the bridge for demolition. The full reopening was expected to take nearly a week, but a day earlier than anticipated.
The crash has caused thousands of cars to be diverted to alternate routes. The reopened bridge will require a new bridge. You can read more about the crash and what to do to prevent it from happening again.
Virginia State Patrol Says Dump Truck Hits Bridge Because Bed Was Up
A Virginia dump truck struck an overpass and lodged itself under it Tuesday, forcing both lanes of traffic to shut down. Police say the driver of the 1998 Kenworth accidentally engaged the truck’s bed while driving on the interstate.
The bed then raised and hit the bridge, wedged between the interstate and the overpass. The truck driver, Earl Vaughan, was cited for reckless driving and was taken to the hospital.
Massachusetts Turnpike Dump Truck Hits Bridge
The Massachusetts Turnpike has been closed for several hours after a dump truck that was towing an excavator crashed into a bridge.
The dump truck was overturning on the eastbound side of the highway at 10 a.m. when it struck the bridge’s inside guardrail. The dump truck caused a massive backup of vehicles, which continued for at least five miles.
The highway was closed on both sides while police cleared the scene and airlifted the driver to Baystate Medical Center.
The driver of the dump truck was not injured, but a man in his 80s was taken to the hospital. The truck driver did not stop at the scene. Police pulled him over shortly after the crash.
The driver of the dump truck was not injured in the incident. Police are investigating the cause of the crash. As of Tuesday afternoon, Route 30 remains closed in both directions. It is unclear whether the dump truck was speeding or was hit by another vehicle.
The accident took place early this morning, near the IHOP in Brighton. A dump truck driver was traveling in the inbound lane of the turnpike when he lost control of his vehicle and slammed into a train.
A man whose car was hit by the truck was detained by police. There were no other injured parties, but State Police are investigating the incident.
The Massachusetts Turnpike is closed for three weeks while MassDOT considers an alternative to the current route. This option would preserve train lines, Soldiers Field Road, and bike and pedestrian paths.
The drivers of both vehicles suffered minor injuries. The Chevy Equinox continued to drive north on Route 70, and the Peterbuilt Dump Truck began to veer to the right.
The driver of the Peterbuilt Dump Truck tried to steer the vehicle, but the collision caused the truck to roll over, spilling nearly three thousand pounds of sand onto the highway.
The drivers of both vehicles, Luis A. Cruz of Lowell and Joseph W. Cook of Cambridge, Massachusetts, were taken to a local hospital.
