Industrial vacuum truck smashes into the 11foot8 bridge

Look close and you can see the train tracks moving up and down, whole damn bridge!

Published on Mar 11, 2016
This was a rough one for the poor trestle. The crash beam sustained damage and the truck clearly hit the trestle's structure, too. The two steel lids that flew off weigh about 40 pounds and they are pretty beat up. I called the Norfolk Southern police and reported the incident. They sent someone out a little while later to inspect the trestle.

I follow her on FB, and she lets followers comment, so it's almost like being friends!

Alas, the bastiges canned her the moment she used up her FMLA leave. She has been reduced to setting up a GoFundMe!
