装有土豆的超重卡车，压塌了一座古董桥

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.

官方称，周一，一辆超重的牵引拖车拖着数吨干豆，导致美国北达科他州一座有百年历史的桥梁倒塌。

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.

当地警长办公室在一份声明中说，一辆2005年的彼特比尔特半卡车，在下午1:15左右行驶在靠近Northwood的鹅河上的一座限重桥上，据报道，桥下的结构倒塌，拖车悬挂在西桥台上。

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.

有关当局说，这辆卡车的总重量是43吨(86750磅)，而这座桥的限载重量只有14吨。

The bridge, built in 1906, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

这座桥建于1906年，被列入国家历史遗迹名录。

Police issued the driver a citation for $11,400 and estimate repairs to the landmark could cost anywhere between $800,000 and $1,000,000.

警方给这名司机开出了11,400美元的传票，估计这处地标的修缮费用可能在80万至100万美元之间。

It was not immediately clear if weight limit signs were posted, and police said the incident was still under investigation.

目前尚不清楚是否张贴了限重标志，警方表示，事故仍在调查中。
