This really isn't much of a surprise, considering what is being hired as truck drivers now a days! No longer are they considered "professional" drivers!
All loads are marked with 5th wheel height and overall height. No excuses for these types of accidents. It's just sheer negligence on the driver's part.
I haul 9-axle rgn with these excavators on the daily, and there is no way that boom should have been raised that high, unless the driver set it down flat instead of curled the bucket in. Sheer laziness from the driver's side.
@@kevinmessier8737it’s odd that the boom is high touching the bridge with no truck underneath it. As an operator myself I believe it hit the bridge, there’s no way it would have been knocked off the lowbed, then they pulled the excavator off the low bed and positioned it to support the bridge.
They tried that, but there’s no place to let the air out. They even tried puncturing the tires, but it kept bouncing back. Then they tried a torch but it wouldn’t melt. Any other suggestions you may have would be helpful
@@my3dviews I think we already got past the part it was on the truck when it struck the bridge, hence, the truck is gone and excavator is still there and as the reporter said “it will be there for many days” and NO TRUCK, just a stuck excavator WITH STEEL TRACKS!,,,
This should be a huge fine. The sheer ignorance for the work and time it takes to build these structures to just blatantly not be aware of the height of your load when transporting
Right. Send them a bill for the repairs, plus a fine. Every truck driver must know the height of their truck with the load. All bridges have the clearance height on a sign. No excuse for what happened.
Whether Overpasses in Edmonton or B.C., a Highway Crossing the Trans Canada in Manitoba, a Truck is involved, now is this a coincidence, just accidents, what are the odds?
What are the odds? The odds that when a vehicle's load hits an overpass? 100% of the time it is a truck. There are accidents all the time, but the ones that made the news often involve trucks because they cause more damage than when a small vehicle is involved. By the way, the bus accident wasn't the fault of the truck driver, but the bus driver.
I’ve seen lots of these kinds of accidents, but I’ve never seen heavy equipment do that much damage to a solid steel bridge

I'm sure you know a lot. 🙄
Hold ANY immigrant who breaks the law accountable and DEPORT!
Truck driver should be aware of a tall load!!🤯🤯🤯
Yeah but semi literate immigrants work harder and cheaper than Canadians

Why don't they just deflate the tires, duh!!
It has steel tracks NOT tires, they can’t be deflated!
Oxy Acetylene is better solution

@@f1speedfreak447 He was likely talking about the tires on the truck that was carrying the excavator, no the tracks on the excavator.

5.3 metres / 17ft 4.6 inches from the road to the top of the load
Note to self for next time 👌
That’s a dang it
When that excavator needed to be delivered yesterday. Now it'll be delivered by Christmas I'd imagine.
Likely lots of damage to it. But, the cost to fix it is nothing compared to what the bridge repairs will cost. I say, send him the bill.

Seems like local news.
There's no trailer here, so the excavator must have gone flying off and landing on the ground when it hit the bridge?
I'm india🇮🇳 excavator operator
Where the truck?
Alberta gov't should seize driver license and truck end up court alberta got bad rap don't forget Humboldt right.

CANADA NEEDS MORE TURBI.. DRIVERS TO GET THEIR BRIDGES REPAIRED WITH TRUCKERS INSURANCE 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Was the Carberry bus driver a "turbi" driver?
Big brain moves
This happened in Calgary not long ago
In Toronto a dump truck with a raised bed got stuck under an overpass?
Omg❤
In Soviet Edmonton, Road Build You
Another rubber bum made contact with overpass
Scary incident.
Oops
Put the female anouncer on the road, she can block it by herself
