This is why you don't drive a commercial truck on a parkway on Long Island

Well , he made 2 out of 3 before ripping off the roof !

[Merlot]

perhaps a clearance issue...

WOW!!! I think if it were me….instead of continuing to record what was obviously going to happen, I would have at least made an attempt to speed up along side and try to warn this guy. 

I might be missing something, but why was this guy recording a random truck traveling down the road, unless he knew something was up?

I wouldnt, where he was the overpasses are pretty close together, so I'd be afraid of having that crap crash onto my car.

Most of that will buff out.....

Good point…Im not at all familiar with the area. 

There is a local road ( onondaga lake Parkway) that, over the years, has been the scene of numerous bridge accidents , just like that. One famous fatal one a few yews ago, involving a double decker tour bus hitting the bridge.(REAL UGLY SCENE).  Back in the late 90's my brother was cruising down that road & saw a tractor trailer heading right for the low bridge. He sped up along side and  tried to warn the driver, but the driver was oblivious. POW!!! Candy bars and shredded aluminum,  all over the parkway. No one was hurt.

Up here on the Taconic you'll see a truck on occasion with all the at grade crossing with little signage.....

I always wonder if the driver notices that there aren't any other commercial vehicles around.

Don't you have a plane to catch?!?!

[burmjohn]

And again....

 

For the second time in three days an errant tractor trailer has crashed into the underside of an overpass on the Meadowbrook State Parkway.

The latest incident took place at 8:54 a.m. Friday on the northbound roadway between Exit M5, Hempstead Turnpike, and Exit M6, the Southern State Parkway, in Uniondale.
