no it was just OP bad attempt at humor. Guy would have survived if they had put a trampoline down below overpass?

It’s code for “I’m a douche trying to be funny but I’m not”. Trampoline is much shorter to say.

That's actually impressive that the driver potentially survived the fall.

Did he go through the concrete barrier?

That has to involve some serious high speed

I would think so, but it says homicide detectives are investigating so maybe he was forced off.

It was either 4th of July or NYE, because I thought I ran into the world's largest checkpoint coming back from fireworks downtown.

TRAFFIC homicide detectives


Fixed it for you. Traffic Homicide Detectives is a fancy way of saying accident reconstruction investigator.

They work all traffic fatalities when there isn’t specific criminal intent.

Yikes.

Looks like he is between the spans. I’ve seen big rigs go over the side of I-10 at the I-110 curve when there is ice. They added the taller barrier for that about 20 years ago.

I don’t recall seeing one go off the freeway at Perkins though.
