    I saw an overpass completely smashed on US 84 in I think Snyder, Tx a couple of weeks ago. Something to tall and haulin ##### hit every one of the girders ripping the last one out and dropping it across both lanes. A couple of the girders smashed upwards and broke through the asphalt on the overpass. All traffic was detoured off the exit ramp and back on again.

    Anyone explain why there's no damage to the tractor? Figured it would have smashed the fairing on top. Especially the way that trailer looks after the fact. Looks kind of suspicious in my opinion,don't look like the bridge caused that damage to the trailer.

    The tractor was probably pushed down underneath the underpass from impact. And most midroof tractors are right at 12'9".
