She almost looked like she was about to fall asleep before that pick up veered into her.

It looked like she pulled the steering wheel to the left thereby driving off the bridge…

Dam. Hanging there 45 mins. Probably bargaining with the creator.

No. Watch it again. She was desperately trying to steer the rig to the right.

News said she was screaming repeatedly for help. Not sure that needed mentioning by them, I'm pretty sure most folks are doing both the entire time they are dangling there!

That was intense. Did they have the truck and trailer secured in any way so it could not fall all the way?

No, but they should have. This is why if you ever see a wrecker running lights and sirens you should treat it the same way as any other emergency vehicle. It may be responding to a situation just like this.

The driver of the pickup was speeding and driving like an asshole.
On a suspended license.
And his law-ya is pleading it's just a traffic accident.
Fuck both of them.

Looks like there was a stopped car that as soon as the lumber truck passed the driver accelerated to go go around but when right into the path of the semi.

Way too many asshole drivers around here do things like that pickup. People fly across that bridge in a competition to block each other from changing lanes. No where to go if except into the structure or oncoming traffic. I used to enjoy driving but now days it’s ruined over the number of assholes running lose due to ZERO traffic enforcement by LMPD.

Looks like the offending pick-up truck may have hit the parked car. His front tires are not pointing the same direction.
