I could understand if the bridge didn't have warning lights that come on to warn you that you're too tall, but c'mon people the bridge is TELLING YOU!.

Walnut Creek Kaiser Garage has a flashing message to tell you if you're too tall. I'm too tall now, but before the lift I knew I was okay but I still ducked my head at every support beam.

I've see a few versions of that video before, and each time I still chuckle.


My favorite truck is the "two guys and a truck full of broken !!!!".... NO! Lots of dudes got fired because of that bridge...


We have a similar bridge here, but not nearly as many tear offs as that one. It's another RR bridge that's 12-6. I've seen coke trucks with thousands of bottles of coke all over the road because of that bridge......

That darn bridge..... bad bridge !

And I wish we could see the look on the camper owners faces when they try to fire up the place at their destination.

A few years back...A semi caught the top of a overpass....The driver was ok..But he hit it hard enough,that it twicked the bridge out of line...Hard to believe....Maybe the overpass was already out of square..

Bwahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!! I think my favorites were the flat bed wrecker and the rental truck that backed up and went a different direction after the nose was ripped open.

I remember the one by Moose Jaw. It took them A LONG time to fix it. There have been a few guys around Saskatoon that hit the bridges with track hoe's and boy it sure does a number on the bridge when you hit them at 55 mph.

A couple of years ago, we had a bridge wreck a couple of miles from here. A house moving company was moving a house over a level bridge over a creek rated for less weight than the house. The bridge didn't collapse until the tractor was over the bridge. It then let go right under the middle of the house. The trailer dropped down to road level front and back with no bridge in the middle. The trailer was a little longer than the aforementioned bridge. I don't think the house was that badly damaged but I have no idea how they got it out of there.
