Propane tanker/bridge collapse - Little Lehigh

[wgmiller]

Saw this come through my news feeds today. 5 ton bridge + propane tanker = no beuno!

I saw that on Facebook too. One of the comments said "Not the Sharpest drvier" 🤣

Looks like no one got hurt and they already have a containment boom in the creek which is good.

You can't fix stupid.

I hope no stocked trout were hurt in that bridge collapse.

Looks like it's in natural repro water, smack dab between ATW and Class A...

Oh thank goodness, I'd hate to see the capital funds be wasted.

Yep...

That's Section 06, it's not stocked by the PFBC and based on the wild fish present in the adjacent sections, the good news is any fish hurt are probably wild...

Even more no bueno if you were on the other side of the creek, enjoying a nature walk and you went to leave the parking lot and you came back to this teetering act...

Edit: maybe there are other exits too, I was only there once for a Newbie Jam but seem to remember crossing the bridge to get in. Or maybe I even misremember that..

Poor bridge, didn't deserve this.

This guy may have him beat.

If there is a customer on the other side, I find it hard to believe that was the first time a propane delivery truck drove over that bridge.

They may have just been lucky all of the other times.

I hope they get a BIG fine as there is no excuse for not knowing the weight or height of your rig...

Agree. This can't be the first time an over weight truck crossed it, just the first unlucky one.

There was a 12" stocked rainbow......He's already engaged an attorney.
