A BRIDGE TOO LOW

Received a call from NBPD at the request of ABC Disposal to respond to Rte 18N by the railroad bridge for a HD recovery. Apparently a roll off twin screw Mack truck rolled over 3 times after the roll off unit elevated as the truck was operating at highway speed. The roll off unit struck the railroad bridge causing the Mack to roll over 3 times. We responded with our 60 ton rotator to lift the truck up and to pick up all the heavy broken steel. We also used our HD front end loader to assist in the large clean up. The truck had all blown tires and the frame was twisted around so we used our loader with the extendable boom to lift the back of the truck up to assist in loading it onto our Landoll Trailer Unit. The truck and all the debris was transported to our Freetown shop.
