Having been over that bridge countless times, unless the Road Ranger was speeding or not paying attention, I don’t see how the accident happened.

The highest point of the bridge has a big rise to the top, at that time of day I can see if the guy was driving a little too fast and not paying attention, coming over the rise and the car being stalled just over the rise.

The bridge is 4 lanes in each direction, providing plenty of room, this is a freak accident.

A similar accident happened here on Destin Bridge a couple of years ago.

Traffic was stopped on the bridge, just past the peak of the rise, and a woman came speeding up the bridge and hit the last car in the fast lane full force. She was killed instantly. She was speeding, the speed limit is 35 on the bridge but she must have been doing at least 50...................

From the article:

“The crash happened about one-half mile onto the bridge, not at the top of the span.”

Not on the center span.......the roadranger needs a pee test.
