    People have been dogging her out as if she was the problem. No it’s the crazy 4-wheelers out here that have no consideration for anyone else on the road. Please let the person who actually caused the accident pay for all this damage! I would absolutely sue them.

    Praise God she is ok. That pick up truck driver is in BIG TROUBLE! We went over the bridge shortly before this happened. These drivers weaving in and out of traffic can cause so many accidents! They should never be able to drive again! Praise God she was safe and I hope and pray any others involved in the accident on that bridge are safe. I hope they press charges on the pickup driver. I was so angry people blaming her and saying she won’t have a job after her boss hears about this! I hope her boss gives her paid time off to get her ducks in a row! She will be living with PTSD for the rest of her life and believe me that is horrible to live with! All you people who were downgrading her should be ashamed of yourselves!!! Making fun of her saying she was talking and texting on the phone! I am sure she was calling her loved ones and the fire department was also talking with her. Thank God that man kept talking to her and trying to keep her calm. I can’t imagine what was going through her mind that poor lady! But PRAISE OUR WONDERFUL SAVIOR and the RESCUE AND FIRE DEPT. For bringing her back to safety! I am sure once she stepped foot on the ground someone gave her their phone for her to call her loved ones to say she is going to hospital but she is ok! I hope people who think they are funny talking trash learn a lesson. Some day it maybe them!!! God Bless you all that were keeping her calm and helping her to safety!

    People have been "dogging her out"? I haven't heard one person say anything against her at all. In fact, it was reported that very night that she wasn't at fault and she was the one who was hit. There was a stalled vehicle and another driver who swerved to avoid that hit her. This was reported the next day.

    Can you imagine regaining consciousness while hanging over a river? I knew someone years ago who was servicing a transmitter tower who fell, swung from his safety line. The first hit on the tower knocked his hardhat off, the second knocked him out. When he came to, he was looking down and believed he was in free fall. Lots of cuts, bruises and said he went in his pants when he woke up. Quit his job and never climbed a tower again.

    I have been driving all over doing food delivery and working with a rideshare app. Drivers everywhere were always speeding way over speed limits on streets and freeways. I had to post a sign on my back windows stating "Driver follows speed limits" because of being bullied on the road by so many speeders and tailgaters. People need to slow down everywhere. It has become worse since 2020. I also now see lots of memorial stuff tied to poles everywhere.

    It's very likely that if the residents didn't tolerate the interstate being turned into a toll road, this accident wouldn't have happened. This bridge was built in 1929, the era when a Ford Model A was a large car. It's not built for vehicles of this size, but that's what the public policy is pushing people to do. News reporters are too obedient to state leaders, but that's the kind of tough questions that should be asked in public.

I won't get into engineering with you on a YT post, but this bridge has been well over equipped to take care of both the size and weight of the traffic that travels across it.

    Real hard hitting journalism would turn away from the flashing lights and ask why these vehicles weren't on I-65 instead of a nearly 100 year old bridge built in the Model T era - Because someone decided to turn I-65 into a toll road. Who calls out no bid contracts to a political donors? That's the usual path for how these things arrive, but yeah, praise the firemen and police when people are killed in traffic because they can't afford the safe roads. Two Americas...

    @@brianhoppenrath8379 from what I saw when walking past Sysco trucks they do have lytx drive cams so most likely it's on camera. And I hope Sysco doesn't give her backlash like some company do no matter what the police say as to whether or not it's preventable. It happened to me in 2020 when I jack knifed into a guard rail. Thankfully I resigned from that company.

    I have driven across this bridge in an 18-wheeler a few times. I was once on the phone and had to go silent for about 3 minutes until I crossed it. There is literally no room for error. One swerve and you're either going off the edge or you're hitting the cars in the oncoming lane.

    If it is 101 feet, they call it "hundreds" because it is more than "one" but I get the dramatization concept. A month can be be described a "mere days" or "several weeks" depending on the message they want to get across [spin].

    From the front view it is pretty incredible that the rig stayed hung up with that much hanging over. It’s difficult to see how. Then I saw it when they showed the brief view on the bridge the very back upper corner of the trailer is wedged underneath the steel truss going up at an angle. Looks like a very tiny bit of trailer against the truss is pinned there from the weight of the part hanging over the side pivoting on the middle of the trailer. Would have liked to see how the heck they pulled that rig up and out.

    I am glad that you also perceived what prevented the truck from going on over into the water. I caught that while watching the on-bridge view of the video. The door portal and both side rails evidently made strong allies to withstand that much gravity. Everyone seems to be amazed at either the kingpin or fifth wheel jaws for holding the tractor, but there is one other thing to consider. Credit is also due to the structural integrity of Volvo's cab strength and construction, not to mention the role that the cab mounts played in preventing a separation from the frame rails.

    Truckers need to learn to never swerve for any reason, 15 yrs I never did, hit 2 cars in full on panic braking but never turn the wheel. And call it what it is a crash, that was 100% avoidable if all the drivers were paying attention.

    Not always the case of swerving. If you hit hard enough on the steer axle it will be the same as a steer blowout. Usually truck pulls in the direction of the impact. Plenty of videos here where four wheelers hit semi trucks so hard it literally knock them off the road. Plus the witness literally said a pick up swerving hit the semi after already causing an accident. Trucker can’t help what other stupid people do.

    She was hit head on probably going normal bridge speed as it was the pu's direction of traffic that was stopped for a stalled EV😑. You drive. I've driven. We've both been there. We both know what's on the road today. I agree about if it's inevitable lock it straight but twice, If I hadn't swerved, both times would've been fatal. One for me and one for him. It's never stop steering that ultimately can save you. And always knowing what's around at all times. They need to go back to manual transmissions. That'll at least increase the IQ level of being able to drive a truck.

    So if that's the case, it confirms that "believers" feel entitled to an advantage from a selective ghod who's supposed to be all-loving but in fact is regarded as the head of your select club and who doles out special privilege. Not that you'd ever acknowledge that, as it would let you peep outside your warm Believers' Bubble into the reality which in fact we all live in. So "lucky" is correct as it acknowledges the statistical odds of the driver's survival.
