SueB, How do you know what other truckers said to this driver?
My daughter and son-in-law Were The Occupants of this truck.
Close the bridge? They don’t have gates, a Trooper would have to stand in hurricane force winds flagging traffic….. maybe you can get a reflective vest Christy and go out there! The information signs were instructing motorists not to traverse the bridge!
Send the bill to Ceva Logistics – freight hauler. The truck was emptied! The driver has a CB & a radio, plus cell phones to know the weather reports. Plus other truckers told the driver to pull over and don’t go over the bridge.
Thank God. No one was seriously injured.
I would have to clean my britches out
How ridiculous that they chose not to close the bridges! lol
