Couldn't be true. That truck was stuck. One the other hand, the driver may have fled but he did NOT take his truck with him.Wow, big deal!

The article had been update since I had posted it. A northbound pickup truck struck a mini van and they then pushed the barrier in front of the oncoming southbound tractor trailer. The pickup truck fled the scene.Couldn't be true. That truck was stuck. One the other hand, the driver may have fled but he did NOT take his truck with him.
Preliminary reports from the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) indicated a northbound truck was in the right lane of the I-95 work zone, attempted to move into the left through lane, and collided with a mini-van that was already in the left lane.
The combined force of the truck and van collision pushed part of the concrete dividing wall into the southbound lane and into the path of an oncoming tractor trailer.
That truck driver attempted to avoid the jersey barrier but crashed into the outside retaining wall and ended up going over top of it penetrating a wooden construction wall, and ending up hanging partially off the viaduct.

@daybeers why did you laugh at this?This part of 95 is going through a major reconstruction. It's a long viaduct and I don't think they've done any major updates to it since it was built in the '60's
Just because CTDOT keeps kicking the can down the road to do a similar project in Hartford and it’s funny that we overbuilt all this highway infrastructure without operating & maintenance money to deal with it decades later.
In general American transportation planners are pretty bad at planning for maintenance and how they will be funded. This is true for all transportation infrastructure, not just highways. So it always is a scramble in panic mode in race to keep stuff from collapsing instead of maintaing in a timely and orderly fashion.Just because CTDOT keeps kicking the can down the road to do a similar project in Hartford and it’s funny that we overbuilt all this highway infrastructure without operating & maintenance money to deal with it decades later.
Yup, cuz there’s no ribbon cutting for another year of operational funding that “loses money”In general American transportation planners are pretty bad at planning for maintenance and how they will be funded.

Congressmen don't get roads named after them for fixing them up - only for using your taxes towards building them in the first place.Yup, cuz there’s no ribbon cutting for another year of operational funding that “loses money”
look at the Memphis TN I-40 maintenance mess. Could not even inspect the bridge properly to determine that a problem existed. Fired an inspector that missed the broken part in 2019
