There were no reported injuries, and there is still no explanation as to why the accident happened. The sheer size of the state of Texas means that we have significantly more bridges than most states. Unfortunately, the United States has a bit of a bridge problem, and this has resulted in millions of dollars in property damage and personal injury over the years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Did You Know?<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carabinshaw.com\/news\/dump-truck-brings-down-pedestrian-bridge-on-the-west-side\/\"  title=\"Continue Reading Dump Truck Brings Down Pedestrian Bridge on the West Side\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading \u203a<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Texas has 28,000 more bridges than any other U.S. State.
