Description: This is the first crash at the 11foot8 bridge this year and #139 since 2008. During the first 40 seconds, you can see that the traffic light switches to red and the overheight warning sign lights up (triggered by the overheight truck). Then the sign starts flashing and the traffic signal switches to green. The truck driver had about 50 seconds to notice the warning sign next to the traffic signal and to decide whether or not to heed the warning. as many before, this driver decided to go for it. As he is backing out of the bridge, he backs into a car behind him.
