    I know this is old and some of you have probably seen it already but it was just e-mailed to me and I figured I would put it on here for those who have not.

    I can't make any sense out of those pics. Neither side of the bridge is completely breached if you look at all the pics. It's like it just went up through the center and cut out only the center.

    The straps kept it from flying off the trailor when it hit?

    I'm not sure how it happened, but I have a pretty good idea:biggrin_25526:. All I was told is that it happened heading east on Interstate 70 near Hays Kansas. Guys like this are why I'm never worried about finding a job driving haha.
