Big Rig Drives Off Bay Bridge

[D-Rose]

Wooooooooooooooow.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A trucker is dead after his big-rig plummeted 200 feet off the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge early Monday.

California Highway Patrol Sgt. Trent Cross says the driver of a rig hauling produce lost control on the westbound bridge's troublesome S-curve at about 3:30 a.m. The rig went over the side and landed on Yerba Buena Island.

The trucker, whose name hasn't been released, died on impact.

There have been more than 42 crashes in the bridge S-curve area since it opened Sept. 8. Cross says speed is the cause.

The speed limit was lowered from 50 mph to 40 mph and flashing lights warn drivers of the sudden curve in the road.

I dunno much about the bridge but Im guessing it would have some sort of traffic monitoring cameras along it, so I would say there would be footage of the truckgoing over the edge.

But the footage I would rather see is the impact at the bottom. That would be insane.

Chetto is going to jail , Shea is on his way to the East Side Home Depot to swoop the Mexicans to fix the bridge , and Prodigy is calling his Tios to see how many cases of beer it would cost to get the job done. The Siccness is the solution to all the worlds problems.
