    Freaky. I wonder what kind of maintenance had Just been completed.

    Glad the driver is ok.

    That driver is lucky to be alive. Let's see, he was obviously speeding. Depending on how much over, he could be hit with reckless driving

    Didn't see any speed there. Something hit him or something broke when he rolled up on the bridge joint

    Guess I should have read the article, only watched the video

    Holy S***!!! From the looks of the photographs it looks like a drive axle broke loose from its mountings. And it looks like he was under a heavy load. I wonder if the truck had axle work done recently(suspension,driveshaft,differential,etc.)
