I love how they felt they had to add this:
"The bridge is closed until further notice."IluvCATS, Cam Roberts, Bud A. and 8 others Thank this. -
It's Trumps fault. Blame him.

I take it he was going around closed interstates and thought secondary roads would be a safer choice? Flooding was only happening in that immediate area where they closed the road?
x1Heavy Thanks this. -
The part of the story they neglected to tell was the length of the operation to remove the seat from his arse. -
Leave the truck there and make it the new bridge?
intrepidor and buddyd157 Thank this. -
Used to happen a lot more... Local history: Goodyear trucked across a rugged nation in September 1918 -
As far as the bridge. The ground around the bridge was unstable. I don't expect too many people to take that risk into account. It wont be the first time I leaned on a bridge that was too wet a time or two. (And no Im not telling... you do learn...)mjd4277 Thanks this. -
Notice how the windshield is busted outward on the drivers side... Wild ride.
