Oversized truck fail
A truck driver carrying construction equipment though downtown Nashville did not have the proper permit to be driving in the area when he crashed into the overpass on Interstate 40E near the Demonbreun Street exit.
The crash has shut down the I-65 at I-40 loop and it's not likely to reopen until Saturday.
According to Tennessee Highway Patrol, not only did the driver not have the proper endorsement on his license for the oversized truck, he failed to get a permit to drive through Middle Tennessee. He works for DG Equipment Movers out of Kentucky.
Fixing the bridge will take several months and cost around 4 million dollars. A 12-foot section of the bridge has to be removed to fix the outer beam.
