Casselton, ND : Colorado man was cited for a permit violation after steel tanks on a semitrailer he was driving crashed into an Interstate 94 bridge on Monday afternoon October 6th 2014

A Colorado man was cited for a permit violation after steel tanks on a semitrailer he was driving crashed into an Interstate 94 bridge in southeastern North Dakota. The Highway Patrol says 50-year-old Robert Bettini, of Lakewood, Colorado, was hauling two steel tanks on a flatbed trailer, bound for the western oil patch Monday afternoon. Authorities say Bettini wasn't following his permitted route when he drove underneath the I-94 overpass near Casselton and the tanks struck the concrete bridge girders. Bettini told The Associated Press that he thought he was on the right route. He said roads were unclearly marked and he'll fight the ticket. Bettini wasn't hurt. The tanks valued at $40,000 were destroyed. Damage to the bridge was still being assessed, though state inspectors deemed it structurally safe.
