Semi Truck Goes Airborne Over Utility Bridge
Occurred on July 19, 2018 / El Paso, Texas, USA
Info from Licensor: "A truck driver traveling westbound I-10 at downtown El Paso was reaching for a water bottle when he went up the cement embankment and jumped a utility bridge. The truck exploded in flames and the front axel was found all the way under the next bridge. The driver had to kick out the windshield and amazingly escaped with minor injuries. I arrived to the scene at the same time the fire department arrived. The freeway had to be shut down both ways for more than 24-hours causing major havoc in El Paso."
