Tractor-trailer damages overpass bridge on I-16

State trooper Ronnie Shuemake said the truck was too tall to travel under the overpass. He said the boom of a track hoe struck the bridge as the driver of the truck, John F. Crowe, drove under it with the boom elevated.

DUBLIN, Ga. ' The Georgia State Patrol says a tractor-trailer hauling a piece of equipment damaged an overpass on Interstate 16 West at Exit 49, forcing traffic to be diverted.

The Patrol said large chunks of concrete covered all of the westbound lanes Tuesday and officials said it likely will be months before the bridge is repaired.

I've seen pics of this accident. It is an amazing thing to see how that boom sliced into that overpass.
