My wife has always said the retainer wall on the Buckman is too low.......it’s a nice view unless your seeing it from the wrong side of the barrier. 😏

This isn’t the 1st time a car has gone over by a long shot.

In this case I guess the retainer wall didn't hold the vehicle in, but I've seen test footage of a tractor-trailer running pretty fast into those barriers at about a 45-degree angle and the barrier held.

Also, a few years ago here in Central Kentucky a tractor trailer driver tried to commit suicide by deliberately driving his rig off the Clays Ferry bridge, about 280 feet above the water. But the barrier held, so he got out of the truck and jumped.
