Trucker in FL dangles off overpass trying to make an impossible turn

Really a RV couldn't make that!

 

I hope that dumb b!stard was so scared he will never get behind any steering wheel again, much less a big rig steering wheel.

 

I just don't quite understand how this happened to begin with

 

I can't imagine what the wrecker bill will be for that little screw up.

 

He must have had his eye on chopper 5 or he wanted to test his mattress for overhead comfort ?

 

I was wondering the same thing. I tried to find the intersection on Google Satellite View, but couldn't find it. I was trying to determine if it was one of those Johnny Jump Up exit only lanes that aren't announced until the last minute.

But then the story said the trucker thought he was exiting to the express lane. It's been a while since I have been down that way. Anyone know what lane the express lanes exit on, to the right or the left?

One would THINK seeing traffic signals ahead means two things. First, this ain't no express lane.

Second, maybe hammering down to 65 mph isn't the right thing to do.

 

Probably the first excuse he could think of...

 

That's what I was thinking too

 

I tried the same thing, couldn't find that exit or a decent news story showing a before picture, only that it happened in early August.
The driver didn't seem like he was the brightest bulb on the tree and TFY probably preys on that.
