    When coming up on a vehicle parked on the shoulder you should move over into the hammer lane if possible. If he would have done that this could have been avoided.

    Apparently you didn't even see the picture of the truck did you? He was hanging off on the left side of the overpass. When a drunk does something dumb like this on an overpass there's not much you can do to avoid it.

    I never had any problems crossing bridges in my life until I read that one accident report where the guy's cab broke apart and he fell over 200', NOW I am a wittle nervous going over them...These are scary situations, I hope I never get closer to one than reading about them...
