Martie Bridge Breaks Down After Truck Collapse
A three span pony truss bridge near the Martie farm collapsed Sunday as L H Baade of Luana drove a truck over it. The truck was damaged only slightly and Baade escaped with a few scratches. A county crew removed the truck Monday and the bridge was torn down. County Engineer Hoover said a temporary bridge would be built, followed by a new one in the spring. This was the fourth bridge to fail this year, due to aging structures unable to bear current loads. Spectators witnessed the incident and criticized the old bridges.
