Fatal bridge collapse in Texas

A bridge being built in Texas has collapsed, killing at least one person according to local news reports. The incident happened on Interstate 35 in the town of Salado, around 80km to the north of the city of Austin. Local news suggests that an oversized truck collided with part of the structure, causing the bridge to collapse. As the structure gave way large sections of the bridge fell onto other vehicles, resulting in at least one fatality as well as a number of injuries. The highway has been shut until the debris can be cleared. The 3499 Texas Department of Transportation says that the safe bridge clearance height was posted at a distance from the structure however. It is not clear if the signs were obscured as the truck passed by or if the driver failed to see them.
