We had something similar happen here remember? On the outbound Shoreway a few years back when a dump truck hit, took out a pedestrian bridge at E. 152nd. And how does that happen right? The driver hits a button and says "what'll this do?" And excuse my truck driving ignorance but when your bed is high tailing it 30 feet in the air behind you doesn't something in the cab alert you that you're not gonna clear that approaching 12' 6" bridge? A brand new freeway just opened up in Phoenix and HERE is how it got christened, thanks to TV 3 in Phoenix. You watch where you're going and thanks for stopping by.
