    Law enforcement fines the trucking company, trucking company files insurance claim, trucking company pays.

    Hazmat was probably the third for fourth on the scene after police, fire and ambulance and would have put those floating oil absorbers in the river.

      Yeah something like this isn’t some wild out of the blue occurance that nobody is prepared for. Any department of transportation of any acceptable competence level has a procedure for catastrophic bridge failure, especially by vehicular overload.
