Bridge gives out under big rig during Florence flooding
Flooding from Florence caused a bridge under a semi-truck to give out Monday morning

CHESTERFIELD, SC -- A truck driver had a close call in South Carolina as flooding from Florence continues to plague the East Coast.

The Highway 145 bridge gave out under the truck, just north of Chesterfield.

Blacktop appears to have crumbled into chunks with the force of the rushing water.

The sheriff says the driver is OK.

The road is closed to traffic indefinitely.
