    I sure hope that hole in the windshield wasn't from the driver not wearing a seatbelt.:confused:

    If it was, when he gets out of the hospital, he'll have one on during the ride home, what you bet?

    I'm sure that's exactly what it is. So obviously, this driver is rolling along with the trash can elevated, like a dump truck with box up, already removed or who knows where THAT landed, hitting a bridge like that could even rip the belts out, pretty stiff impact, although, I doubt buckled in. I'd bet there's a job opening there.

    I don't see a can anywhere on the ground. The first picture shows the roll off rails crammed up under the bridge and the second shows a roll off chassis with the rails ripped from the hydraulic cylinders and the rear axle housing folded up like a taco.

    I'd bet a nickel the driver dropped off a container and hauled ### home, never put the hoist back down or looked in their mirrors. This happens more often than you might think.
