    I'm sure the insurance company has already started the policy cancellation.

    Insurance policy will max out, tax payers foot the bill on the rest.

    I was stuck in the backup going west yesterday and came back eastbound today. They completely removed the overpass over the westbound lanes.

    How did he get under all of the other bridges on that route?

    Dash camera says 72 mph. Lol. I’d laugh if they handed him a speeding ticket after he shared the video of the bridge strike with the police.

    One thing I noticed was there was a pole car in the rear… Not sure if the front car had a pole on it because if it didn’t, there would be something seriously wrong with that
