Dump truck crashing into Presumpscot River damages 1840 Babb's Bridge; Gorham Police investigating.
A dump truck carrying crushed stone crashed into the Presumpscot River in Maine, hitting historic Babb's Bridge built in 1840. The driver suffered minor injuries, but the bridge, designed to support a 3-ton weight limit, sustained significant damage. The truck was "multiple times that weight" and caused a large hole in the bridge. The incident is under investigation by the Gorham Police Department, and the bridge may be closed for several months.
