Oversized driver was completely in the wrong on this one. Pilot car or not, as soon as he saw the truck coming up on his left, he should have centerlined the roadway so he could clear the bridge supports.

Protect the road (other drivers and static structures) from the load and to protect the load from the road. You cant just bebop down the road without a care hauling OD. It doesn't matter if you hang over 2" or 4', whether you're 13'7" or 15'+.
"Driver is (supposed to be) responsible for checking heights"
