    Most of the time they do. They will grind a few layers of old pavement off at least for a few hundred feet around the overpass. Some places though (Chicago) are notorious for paving and not changing the signs

    That is enough to instantly make that driver sick and want to put their head in a hole!
    The really demolished one on the rear of the trailer was more than likely #2 on the tractor. If you look at the rear upper deck of the tractor you can see it tweaked and bent up.

    But yet no apparent damage on the one over the cab??? Makes me think he unloaded a couple of cars and never dropped his head rack table back down?

    Yes, if you look closely, you can see #2 is messed up, riding much lower on the left. My guess is there's at least 3 totaled cars, not just 2.
