Chinese man to pay fine over 30,000 years
Fined with over US $25 million in penalties, a 34-year-old Chinese truck driver might be forced to pay for generations to come after a bridge collapsed under his overloaded truck with authorities blaming him for the accident.           

Mr. Zhang, drove an overloaded truck over a concrete bridge in Beijing's outskirts on July 19, causing its collapse. Zhang's fine is equivalent to the cost of the damaged bridge.             

Authorities found Zhang solely responsible for the traffic accident, while Mr. Zhang claims he was merely carrying out the instructions of the delivery company.          
It remains to be seen, if at all, Zhang intends to pay the financial penalty.             

According to Chinese media, the average monthly salary of a Beijing truck driver is around $70. At that rate, Zhang will have to pay the fine over a period of 30,000 years before it is all paid out.
