Overloaded trucks break two bridges in Vietnam on same day   The overturned truck is seen next to the collapsed bridge in Dak Lak Province, located in Vietnam's Central Highlands, on April 1, 2016, in this photo taken by a local resident. Tuoi Tre Two bridges in Vietnam collapsed in separate accidents on Friday, after overloaded trucks crossed them. At around 6:00 am, a truck apparently overloaded with sand was passing a bridge in the Central Highlands province of Dak Lak when it caused the structure to tumble down into two pieces. A schoolgirl who was unfortunate enough to be riding an electric bicycle across the bridge in Xuan Phu Commune, Ea Kar District, at that time fell to the river along with the truck following the collapse. The truck driver, his assistant and the schoolgirl were immediately rushed to a local hospital with multiple injuries. Pham Van Hoa, head of the police unit of Xuan Phu Commune, said officers are examining the scene of the accident. Police will determine the volume of sand the truck was carrying and the damage to the bridge so as to see how to handle the case, he added. The collapsed bridge has a loading capacity of only ten metric tons, while the truck is believed to be loaded with up to 15 metric tons of sand at the time of the accident, according to the police chief.     A little more than an hour after the Dak Lak incident, a bridge in the northern province of Yen Bai also gave way when a heavily loaded truck was crossing it. The vehicle was carrying more than 30 metric tons of goods when it passed the Quan Bridge, designed to withstand only eight metric tons, at around 7:15 am, according to the provincial traffic safety committee. The bridge did not fully collapse, but the truck nearly overturned, creating a big crack in the middle of the structure. Local police are investigating the case. In the meantime, Hung Cuong Co. Ltd., which operates the truck, is facing sanctions from the transport department of the neighboring province of Phu Tho, where the company is registered.   TUOI TRE NEWS
