BYRON TWP., Mich.-- Another truck hit the 100th Street Bridge over U.S. 131 Friday evening.
Crews on scene tell us that a truck carrying empty steel containers used to haul cherries hit the overpass about 5:00 P.M. Falling containers caused damage to two vehicles but there were not any serious injures.
"It was too high and it hit the bridge," explains Michigan State Police Trooper Brandon Golden. "The bins hit a couple of other vehicles."
A passenger car and a small box truck were damaged, either by the falling steel bins or after losing control trying to avoid them.
The bridge has already been hit at least eight times this year. Earlier this week, a double wide, being transported on the freeway also got caught on the bridge.
MDOT plans to start work this fall create more clearance by removing concrete and asphalt.
Early reports from dispatch say that traffic was backed up to 68th Street. MDOT says that the entire 100th Street bridge will be replaced starting in 2020.
