The article I read said the 23 year old driver saw the sign with a max load of 6 tons, but didn't know how many pounds that was...

It looks like he was too high and too heavy. He might have squeaked by on the weight if he hadn't been over-height

Reading signs was an issue too. There was a NO TRUCKS sign prominently displayed at the bridge.

Looks like she took out the sign, too.

Apparently it's also a historic bridge, 125 +/- years old.
