From Alpine, Texas: Repairs have been completed on a railroad bridge that was hit for the second time. The bridge was significantly damaged, but crews cleared debris and finished repairs by 1 a.m. on September 11, reopening the roadway to normal traffic. A driver was ticketed and jailed for striking the bridge, which is considered a fixed object, and for not having a permit. The driver was a contract driver for a company called the Wall.

Further details about the incident and the repairs are available from the source. The incident has prompted calls for upgrades to the road, which is maintained by TxDOT.

The bridge was previously hit on August 10, and repairs were made to the road last November.
