Bridge height is not the problem…

SO glad no one was hurt seriously!!! Big rigs have it rough all over especially in heavy traffic. I don’t know what caused this rig to go off the bridge, but swerving to avoid an idiot in a car would not surprise me at all.
Georgia, that statement is 100% truth.
I am curious as to why the camera tilted to the right slightly as it started then followed to the left. I was not aware a dashcam could anticipate the action and follow it. I watched it 3 times and saw the same movement.
I saw the same thing but I have never seen how a dashcam works like I did with that one.
One of the most useful features of dash cameras is impact and motion detection. Whether you’re using your dashcam in continuous mode or parking mode, impact and motion detection informs you of the potential triggers in your vehicle, while also capturing and saving the scene on your device for sufficient evidence.
That looks like the exit for Soulman bbq, he can go have a sandwich while waiting for the wrecker.
I m sorry,I m speechless,but I hope driver is ok.
