BYRON TOWNSHIP, Mich. -- The 100th Street Bridge over US-131 was struck again by a truck around 4 a.m. Friday, according to the Michigan Department of Transportation.

In a tip to FOX 17, driver Bill Burnett drove through debris on northbound US-131 around 4 a.m. and drove by a truck loaded with pallets on the side of the highway. The driver was adjusting his load.

This is the seventh time this bridge has been struck, and an MDOT crew went to the scene, blocked the right lane and appeared to examine the  bridge.
