"The driver of a semi-tractor trailer that was hauling a track hoe excavator on a flatbed misestimated the clearance at an overpass, and the boom of the hoe collided with the overpass and knocked a 45-foot gap through the deck of the bridge."

LOL, I love these people who try to drive overheight vehicles under bridges that are 'a bit short'.
I actually got called out today... a lowbed hauling a concrete truck tried going under one our our clients bridges. The cement truck no longer has the mixer attached it was pretty funny to see the drum on one side of the road and the truck on the other.
Luckily the bridge faired better than the cement truck! Crap like that happens more than you'd think...
