Texas Truck In Bridge Accident Did Not Have Proper Permit

“The motor carrier that struck the bridge did not have the legally required permit to carry an overweight load,” Texas Department of Motor Vehicles spokesman Adam Shaivitz told the Austin American-Statesman on Friday. Lares Trucking, the small, two-truck company whose rig struck the overhead beam, primarily hauls general freight, building materials, logs, poles and lumber, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
