It's still not clear what caused the bridge's concrete railing to come crashing down, according to Tennessee Department of Transportation officials. However, they are confident the bridge, which was built in the 1950s, is structurally sound and its condition will not lead to further injuries.
...
The bridge was inspected in the middle of last year and its overall condition rating found to be fair, TDOT records show.
...
Officials are reviewing video footage and weigh station records to see if an oversized truck may have caused the bridge's damage.
Very scary. Amazing that only one person was hurt when they drove into the fallen debris.
