Conway County bridge collapses after truck crosses

A truck crossing Fryer Bridge in Conway County caused the 121-year-old bridge to collapse Monday, a local news website reported.

The Sweet H2O truck, weighing almost 9 tons, made it over the bridge, with a weight limit of 3 tons, before it fell, and no one was injured, KHTV reported on its website. The driver was cited for exceeding the weight limit.

Fryer Bridge, built in 1890, was added to the list of National Historic Places in May 2004.
