Truck damages covered bridge; Vermont police seek driver

LYNDON, Vt. (AP) — Police in the Vermont town of Lyndon are looking for the driver of a truck that damaged the Millers Run Covered Bridge.

A surveillance camera shows the six-wheel box truck approaching the covered bridge from the south at 5:30 a.m. Thursday.

The Caledonian Record reports the boards can be seen falling to the ground as the truck drives through the bridge. After it went through, the driver can be seen exiting the truck, walking around it and examining the damage to both the truck and the bridge.

The driver then gets back into the truck and drives off.

Trucks that are too large are a frequent cause of damage to covered bridges in Vermont.

The town road crew repaired the damage to the bridge.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call local police.
