This article (link) explains it all. Crossing rural bridges is risky business and this driver may have been following the route of an old GPS tract. You can be sure that the recovery of this beast will be equally dangerous and will require a solid plan with lots of experience.     R.

Oh man,.. What a mess. I sometimes wonder how some of these otr drivers got their licenses in the first place. 

Mr. Resch is right. That recovery is going to take A LOT of planning and preparation by a really skilled recovery team. My first concern would be that man made abutment and its overall integrity now that the bridge it was meant to hold up is now gone. The lateral support the bridge provided is no longer there.  

PROFESSIONAL TOWING & RECOVERY IS NOT JUST A JOB.. IT IS A LIFESTYLE
