ABC13 was the only station at the neighborhood spectacle.The video above is ABC13's 24/7 Livestream.A bridge, clearly marked with a four-ton weight limit, was crushed by a concrete truck and sunk right in the middle.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.
DPS said they can't cite the driver for the incident because the bridge is privately owned. The HOA said they are talking with their lawyers about whether they will take civil action. "It looks like more than four tons with that much damage because now the bridge is completely gone," Broughten said.
