ZOMG, NWR!! I just saw this on the news:

A truck plowed right through a pedestrian bridge that goes over a highway in Istanbul.

Now, pardon the video. It was the only one I could find. If you want to skip the horrible intro, go to about 0:25 and watch from there.

There's no need to have your speakers on, the music for this is ridiculous.

OMG, were the people okay?  How come that guy didn't realize he wasn't going to fit!?

Whoops!  I hope that dude is okay.

Something similar happened here on Christmas day.  Snow plow going down the highway didn't have his bed full of salt down, and plowed into an overpass, shutting the freeway down.

It was some sort of dump truck, and the guy said he didn't realize that it had lifted up until it all happened.

Those walking on the bridge were hurt but survived.

Yeah.. that was not fun!  I don't think anyone was on the overpass though... but I can't remember.
