Pennsylvania State Police are investigating what caused a wooden bridge to collapse Tuesday afternoon when a propane truck drove over it in Lower Macungie Township.

A bridge in Emmaus, Pennsylvania, collapsed while a propane truck was crossing it Tuesday afternoon. The Sharp Energy truck tried to cross the narrow wooden bridge connecting Orchid Place in Emmaus to the Wildlands Conservancy.

Police now say a 35-year-old Berks County woman was the driver involved in the bridge collapse in Emmaus. A propane truck tried to go over the small bridge when the first pier collapsed into the Little Lehigh Creek.

Road lanes were closed for about 14 hours while crews used vacuums, shovels and their hands to scoop up freshly minted loose coins.

The Texas Department of Transportation took on an unusual clean-up operation after an overturned truck lost its load of 8 million dimes -- $800,000 worth of change.
