Reviving this thread for a close call I had today with an excavator that hit a bridge as I was passing it. My mustang is about as clean as my shorts right now.

I own an excavating contracting company and I have never seen an excavator loaded like that. The boom/stick were not folded in but rather in a parked position as if it were on a jobsite. Apperently that was the first time he had ever hauled an excavator and whomever loaded it must have been the first time alsoReviving this thread for a close call I had today with an excavator that hit a bridge as I was passing it.

Or their last day (planned or otherwise).whomever loaded it must have been the first time also

Wow, that is scary! Great reaction.Reviving this thread for a close call I had today with an excavator that hit a bridge as I was passing it. My mustang is about as clean as my shorts right now.
Its hard to see in the video but the excavator actually hit the height sign. Found a better picture of it from AZ DOT's twitter feed. The bridge is bent now.Wow, that is scary! Great reaction.
Don't these truckers read the fucking signs before the overpasses? Don't they realize how tall their load is?
We had a dummie truck driver drive into a bridge here in MA and cause severe structural damage. Now it causes all sorts of traffic for people, (not me, I don't live near that area), and the trucking company now has to pay all expenses to repair that bridge. There are signs telling you what the bridge height is way before going under it.
Doesn't look like too much damage luckily.Its hard to see in the video but the excavator actually hit the height sign. Found a better picture of it from AZ DOT's twitter feed. The bridge is bent now.

So, no signs before going under the bridge, only at the bridge?
Fair enough.I don't remember seeing any additional height signs and I rarely take this road so I am not too familiar with the signs there.
