Ms. Lambright was aware of the iron bridge stating she had driven on it several times in her personal vehicle and was also aware of the posted signage “no semis, weight limit of 6 tons”. When asked by Paoli Police why she continued through the bridge knowing the weight limit was only 6 tons she admitted to not knowing how many pounds that was. She was advised the weight of the vehicle at the time of the crash was close to 30 tons.

"The real mystery here is how she got her CDL.". No mystery there- its amazing the people that have been driving for years and struggle to back up a rig. And these CDL schools are just pumping out bodies.
