Shifting it 6 feet!

Dump truck runs into bridge in middle Georgia.

For our LA baws, I-16 runs 170 miles from Macon to Savannah. This happened East of Dublin, about 60 miles from Macon. This overpass is on the same exit we used when we stayed at an AirBnB in south central Georgia the night before my baby sis graduated Georgia Southern.


I-16 is one lonely stretch of road. You can also haul some major arse. 90 is a popular speed on that highway.

The interstate is shut down thru at least Saturday at this exit and the 2 following exits. Baked ham for anyone coming/going to Savannah this w/e.

The tractor tires stayed in the truck bed after that?

I saw the first pic and said "why did they shut down both lanes?"

Then I saw the second pic.

Anyone who has ever driven it will tell you it feels like 470 miles.

That would have been a hell of a thing to see to watch that truck slam into the bridge so hard it shifted the roadway.

I got a $280. ticket, clocked by a trooper driving in the opposite direction at exactly 90 mph on that very road near Statesboro.
