We still don’t know when the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) will be able to repair the State Route 167 (SR 167) bridge that was struck by an over-height vehicle last week, but we do have more details about the crash.

According to the police report, the dump truck driver had just delivered a load, but did not lower the bed as he drove off. The driver went under SR 167, and that bed slammed into the concrete girders above.

The 70-year-old driver was cited for negligent driving in the second degree and issued a $564 ticket.

WSDOT has not estimated how much it will cost to fix the bridge. Only one lane of the highway is open because of the damage.
