    The eastbound side appears to still be open.

    That looks like the counterweight struck, which means he was way over height for that bridge. This is what you get when you get $1.50 a mile haulers hauling this stuff

    That's got to be one of the hardest hits I've seen in quite some time. I'd love to see a picture of the truck and trailer. Hitting it with the counterweight if he did, that dang thing must've been on a flatbed.

    C'mon ya'll, the driver told me that dispatch told him that he was supposed to deliver that bridge to destinations unknown, but he just couldn't figure out how to load it-so he just left it there

    This will just give Georgia MCCD further incentive to crack down on trucks even further. Good grief!!
