He should have swerved over there. He might have gotten a new windshield out of it.
40 or so years agao I was riding on my bike on State highway 20east of Blountstown when I came to the Appalachicola bridge, a two lane cantilever bridge that seemed tp be listing at an angle, several degrees aslant. Detouring would add 50-60 miles to my trip so I took a deep breath and went on over. Sitting in a Waffle House in Jacksonville several hours later I heard a truck driver saying that a dredging project in the river for preparing to put in a new modern bridge, the crane had swung over and tilted the bridge. In Florida there is no bedrock, just soft limestone so bridges are supported on long columns that are pushed down far enough that they will stay in place. Sideways pressure is not counted on. That bridge got closed and detour signs went up a within three hours after I crossed it. I was commuting weekly for work from Panama City to Jax and that complicated things a bit.
