That Cater is back there on the Pillar

#4 has some major structural beam damage. MAJOR.
Lindenheller
Yeah, that'll buff out.
PanNonOpticon
It cleared the first bridge. And totaled the second one.

sandraleer
Yup. Right by my house. This was insane to see.

Whoever planned that route is likely fired… unless the truck driver ad libbed

I mean, Pic#2 is already pretty indicative of a big problem.
noReallyIamPrincessBob
That overpass will have to be closed and repaired. Looks like it was just recently redone. Perhaps that is part of the problem.

San Antonio. You have a week to come up with a country song about this. Go.
Mscott9004
We had a similar accident in Colorado on I-25. Tore the concrete beam apart.

damn that excavator is spare parts now. near complete loss. never mind they have to build a new overpass. looks like a costly error

Knowing bridge maintenance in this country, they'll just slap some paint on it and ignore it for another decade....

He's having the day he made for himself, but damn, that's rough

Is... is the CAT going to be OK?
catsmeowgetscatswow
The bridge clearly states how high the clearance is.
LenWeirdracin
Sign says that bridge was 16' 3" & commercial trucks height limit is 13' 6"
georgedragonslayer
Should have stated it louder.
Slugsie
How Clarence, high are you?
rshini
sometimes they're not updated when the roads are repaved (which adds height over time)
catsmeowgetscatswow
Not sure for highways, but city roads grind down the pavement to ensure they don't have to readjust curbside to tolerance.
KatBerry
aahhh 1604...
LordQuorad
Wow. They seem to have hit the second bridge only. I wonder how they managed to do that?
Thorbane
Might have been lower clearance on the second one.
Edowyth
You're tall, not small! Standard box trucks are 13'6" high. Read bridge signs and STOP if your cargo or vehicle are too tall!
DukePhelan
What happens to the truck driver in these incidents? They aren't criminally charged for an accident or anything right? To error is human
georgedragonslayer
*Slaps the tie downs* - That ain't goin' nowhere.
tylerPumpkinTraveler
There are navigation apps that prevent this sort of thing….
TheGreatAtomsk
there are road signs that, if followed, would prevent that!
LenWeirdracin
Apps cant help if it was not loaded & height checked by the driver.
randomguywholovespizza
at first, I just thought it was a regular army tankm painted with the latest camouflage
RustyMcKraken
#5 I wonder who gets to flip the bill for the new overpass...destroyed concrete girders & split rebar.

Episode of Shipping wars?

Oh well. At least next week is a new year.

We're going to need an Oof one size bigger than Large.
DrunkBobRoss
"Huh, truck seems a lot lighter all of a sudden..."
Yupurineutah
So does the bridge.
deozamn

At least we know his "tie down" game is strong...
Elrohn
Voice of Homer. "You mean Chain down game...heh heh heh ".
NightlinerSGS
Yeah, that load was secured pretty well. Now if he'd just remembered how big it was...
HsuDoNihm
Yeah, cuz the bridge was secured even better.
rvisual01
Dude should add this to his fet life
FullSpecial
That (part) is not going anywhere
scrapz
It's because he remembered to flick the straps and say "that ain't going anywhere".
fformulaa
Totally decabitated that cat!
