I can hear the wife of one of the campers, when parked. "hey Honey, the AC won't come on."

The bridge itself is protected by steel. What all the vehicles are actually hitting is an A-frame of "slice your roof off".

Still one tough bridge that was hit many times before the protection.

i'm liviing in the middle of the bakken oil patch in north dakota and there's a bridge here in town with a 16 foot clearence and damned if something doesn't hit it weekly. all the oil support traffic running around this part of the state is crazy. riding a motercycle while competing with all the truck traffic is just plain dangerous anymore.
 i know i got away from the original subject for a minute but i just had to rant a little.

Awesome video.
Noticed that most of the involved trucks were rentals like Ryder and Penske.
It is my assumption that those by non professional drivers but from mom and dad just for moving the furniture and that kind of stuff.
However that yellow sign and the flash lights should have given them a hint  :)
