A truck carrying an oversized load in northwest Las Vegas on Friday struck a steel beam near a bridge construction site, sending the beam crashing onto a following vehicle and killing its driver, according to the Nevada Dept. of Transportation.
The 7:09 a.m. accident took place on southbound U.S. Highway 95 when the top of the truck allegedly clipped the I-beam, which was set up to provide a final warning to motorists of the 15-ft. height restriction at the under-construction bridge.
