Does this count as an oops? No fault of the driver. This truck was 'parked' on side of the Bruce Hwy, just south of my place, during a period of extreme rain, in 2007. There was no possibility of driving through the rain. Visibility was approaching nil, so driver attempted to pull over and wait out the storm. Rain had been heavy for many days, soils were saturated and soft, driver not able to see that the road edge was sloping, and weight of the vehicle did the rest. Note the licence plate number! Tempting fate perhaps?
Water should have been 30 feet below the roadway. The buildup of vegetation is floating debris. One hour later the bridge was entirely under water. Buggered if I would be standing where the thrill seekers were.
Ah, the good ole days. I remember rain. Grass was green then. Brown & crunchy now.
This shows WHY I wouldn't be standing on that bridge in floodtime. That's not even the worst part of the concrete degrading.
