Bridge destroyed after fatal accident involving 'overweight' lorry Cracked tarmac and twisted steel barriers and beams bear testament to an attempt by the driver of a "plus-50 ton" lorry to cross a bridge designed to carry less than half that load. The bridge, at Mirepoix-sur-Tarn north of Toulouse in southern France, collapsed into the river killing the lorry driver and a 15-year-old girl. IMAGES
