jeebus, was that bridge held down with duct tape, or what? I'd never expect it to flip over like that... unless it was designed that way, to minimize damage if it was hit?

Driver is lucky beyond belief that he, or someone else didn't get crushed. Imagine if there had been a train crossing at that time?

I just found it amazing that something like that happened. We had a hoe hit a bridge around here about 15 years ago.. all it did was take a chunk out of the concrete and spill a couple hundred gallons of hydaulic fluid.... unfortunately into the marshes
