So, I have to work from home today. Glad I did as this happened this morning. A semi somehow hit a pedestrian bridge over Southfield freeway which collapsed, closing the freeway in both directions. How do you hit a bridge between two other bridges.

Woah. That does take some serious talent!

It looks like one news source says it was a car hauler and another said it was a waste hauler. There was mention of the load lifting without the driver knowing it, so unless "waste hauler" is some sort of Detroit slang for a car hauler with furrin' cars on it I'd guess it was one of those dump trailer things or something.

All my local news feeds are talking about is that Matt Stafford got caught in that traffic. Yes, the Lions QB getting into a traffic jam is headline news.

It may have started the trip as a car hauler, but it certainly finished it as a waste hauler.

E36 M3, it looks like the driver of the truck died after being taken to hospital
