An overweight tractor-trailer, hauling several tons of dry beans, caused the collapse of a 100-year-old historic bridge in North Dakota on Monday, officials said.

官方稱，周一，一輛超重的牽引拖車拖著數(shù)噸干豆，導(dǎo)致美國北達(dá)科他州一座有百年歷史的橋梁倒塌。

A 2005 Peterbilt semi-truck was driving on a weight-restricted bridge over the Goose River near Northwood at around 1:15 p.m. when the structure reportedly crumpled beneath it, leaving the trailer hanging over the west abutment, the Grand Forks County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.

Authorities said the total weight of the truck was 43 tons — or 86,750 pounds — and the bridge had a limit of only 14 tons.

有關(guān)當(dāng)局說，這輛卡車的總重量是43噸(86750磅)，而這座橋的限載重量只有14噸。
