When their license is suspended, it's NEVER a system error. It's ALWAYS for good reason, and whatever the reason, it most likely happened multiple times

Thank God her trailer was loaded just right so she didn't go over.

That's not what stopped the whole truck from going over. If she was loaded? It would've all shifted forward at that angle, pushing the trailer and truck completely over. The trailer got hung up on one of the bridge trusses at the back part of the trailer.
Thank God she had a dashboard camera 🙏🏽🙏🏽💙

I lived in Louisville area for years, I avoided this bridge as much as possible because it was very old and VERY narrow, it was barely built to accommodate modern cars let along big rigs. I was always terrified a gust of wind would push me just a few inches over too far in either direction and I'd get hit. Exactly this situation was what I always feared, driving this bridge always felt like a risk

Nearly drives off bridge?? You mean manages to stay alive after an accident not caused by her.
Lousy clip, no audio, cannot see face.
She tried to steer to Right but it just keeps turning left, most likely left tire is stuck or something making turn left.
She was very lucky to survive?! I say the semi trucks trailer that was carrying stuff saved her from falling any further.
The driver of the truck was trying to avoid a head on crash with the vehicle in fromt of him. Next the safety precautions that could have been put in place to prevent this type of problem was never installed. I understand that this was a driver did not have his driver's license, but the accident could have been a judge, a cop, a EMS worker , a doctor, a government official. My point is simple, that without the right type of protections put in place the problem could have happened to anyone.
I'm not understanding how the pickup driver was in the far right lane in the first place where the stalled car was because about 60 yards behind that car were two more cars. He must have swerved over to the far right lane in some sort of effort to get around traffic, realized there was another car stalled and swerved back and overcorrected. Not sure how he wouldn't have been able to see all 3 cars. I'm also not understanding how a truck could have that much effect on a semi.

Trevor Brenham? Looking at the trucker's video, it appears that Trevor probably passed two OTHER stalled cars, then deked into the right lane to overtake the car in the passing lane; so, a really stupid move and then a criminally irresponsible one to avoid rear-ending the parked car.

Wouldn't most semis just obliterate any standard vehicle like this truck? Did the truck hit it in a sweet spot that caused her to loose control or something? I've never seen a semi accident where a vehicle that small could actually affect the way a semi is driving, much less cause it to drive off a bridge.

And when it comes to having a driver's license, thereare so many people thag have a driver's license that are much worse of a driver, having a driver's license does not prove anything in in case. The drive proved that he was able to drive yo the bridge for where his starting location was, and I am sure yhe driver drove the days before.. let me guess the reason the driver was unable to pay for the driver's license was thw cost of insurance companies.

If the pick up driver had his vehicle under proper control and been paying attention to what was ahead he would have been able to slow down/stop without having to swerve into opposing traffic lane.
