    I've been been wondering where they do the mid roof conversion on condo Fruitliner sleeper trucks. Cool.

    Unless you've got a grass burner, a short cab or sleeper wouldn't have changed much. Driver ignored their responsibility to know how high the truck was.

    That’s not just any ol’ light. It’s an overhead warning light. It changes red when it detects an over height truck. And there are signs stating that.

    The red light is a regular traffic signal. It changed and the other car turned. The overheight sign was lit up too!

    Go read about the bridge. It’s a dual purpose light.

    That's what I was going to say, but I reviewed the footage and saw it changed at the same time as the over height sign lit up.

    Sorry you guys, the traffic signal is independent of the overheight light. The signal in this crash before our flatbedder goes green even though the overheight light is lit.
