On May 23, 2013, the Skagit River Bridge collapsed when a truck carrying an oversize load struck the overhead support beams, causing it to crumble into the water, along with three people in two cars.
A Washington State Patrol report said the oversized load was two inches too high.
They cited him for second-degree negligent driving — a $550 fine, but Scott fought the ticket. Troopers said the pilot driver did not warn the truck driver about bridge’s the low clearance.

“So it was just a horrendous boom and things were -- it was violent in the cab,” Scott told the NTSB, according to a transcript included in 2,000 pages of investigative documents reviewed by KIRO 7.
No one was killed in the collapse, but it cost the state $17 million to replace the span.
