Bridge in Laos collapsed after a truck tried to cross

There's been an accident in southern Laos. Either the truck load is too heavy, or the bridge is not built strong enough.

The country is actually trying to upgrade the bridge at this town or location with a more modern bridge. It appears to be that the collapsed bridge was entirely made out of lumber. As you can see to right of the collapsed bridge there is a new support pillar.

My theory is that the driver has probably been driving over this bridge a few times while they were building a modern bridge to the right. However, at this day the bridge cannot compensate for the overall overburden of the truck.

It could be the San River that flows into the Mekong River.

No, you're using an incorrect tone.

"San" sounds like "shake" in Lao language. You know, to shake something, you "san".

There's a town called "Paksan". "Pak" means "mouth", because the town is located in mouth of the San River.
