Video: Dump Truck Rams and Destroys a Pedestrian Bridge in TurkeyBy Brian Lohnes Posted 01/29/10
The best thing about this video is that news reports say that none of the pedestrians were seriously hurt in what appears to be a horrific accident as the dump bed of a truck raises while being driven on a highway and smashes into a pedestrian bridge, knocking it to the ground.
Thanks to BangShift.com member Malc for the tip!

You need to be able to move the truck with the dump up when you are delivering your load because the material will stack up in the bed. Ever see the drivers bump the trucks ahead to finish off loading material?
Maybe some kind of lock out so the truck couldn't leave first gear or something.

That kind of tipper truck should have some kind of start/drive
disabling mechanism, until the tipper is lowered.

looks like only one of the pedestrians could have been injured. and thats the guy that stopped, and obviously watched the truck and just waited to see if it was going to hit the bridge. no attempt to run the other direction. "oh that dump has its bed up? its supposed to be like that right?" ???

As i understand it,the driver was out spraying the road with salt.And it was probably low on salt,and the driver had to swing the bed at full tilt to get all the salt out.
