That would be a wild ride for the driver of that T when the bridge collapsed.

If you enlarge the picture of the bridge collapse by clicking on it, you can read the caption that states one person was killed and Dr Barbour who was also involved in the collapse treated others even with a broken hand. The workmen failed to post the bridge was closed because they were replacing support beams.

I'm assuming the canvas tarp placed conveniently over the windscreen is in respect to Mr. Richmond...

Those old bridges seemed to be pretty dangerous places...:

Do you think the frame on the T was slightly warped or bent just a bit ? :lol:
