But at the moment of impact and for a few seconds before, it doesn't appear that there are any vehicles moving across the bridge.



Yeah, all I see are the flashing lights of the construction vehicles near the center of the bridge roadway at impact. I wonder if they had any warning?

seems like they had a chance of surviving if they could see what was happening and could jump off the side.

Lotta "ifs" though.
IF they survived the impact with the water,
IF no debris fell on them,
IF the water wasn't too cold and they could stay afloat with all their construction gear on.
If they had the balls to make the decision to jump off a tall arse bridge in the middle of the night because they made a split-second assessment that their odds of surviving were better jumping than staying on the bridge.
