After a massive concrete truck full of cement crushed a wooden bridge in Montgomery County, Eyewitness News is looking more into how this happened and its impact on the community.
The crash happened in the Walnut Cove neighborhood at the intersection of Maywood and Sassafras. ABC13 was the only station at the neighborhood spectacle.
“It’s a mess, a mess,” resident Natasha Ojeda said.
According to the Texas Aggregates and Concrete Association, a loaded concrete truck weighs around 20 tons. The crashed truck had concrete in it, and some leaked into the water below.
Hazmat teams were on hand in case the water or sewer lines next to the bridge were damaged.
DPS said they can’t cite the driver for the incident because the bridge is privately owned. The HOA said they are discussing whether they will take civil action with their lawyers.
“It looks like more than four tons with that much damage because now the bridge is completely gone,” Broughten said.
