She's lucky she didn't get air on the bridge, like this old pic.

Yeah .. they do look like beer cans .. but it was a daughter, mom .. there is a hard right turn onto that bridge and the teen driver panicked and hit the wrong pedal(so they say). The other side of the bridge has a variety store and kids hang out at the bridge, so I don't doubt the beer cans .. just not from the driver(s)

That's why I said "IF". Always try not to judge without all the information. I can understand someone just learning to drive having a mishap. We were all new drivers at some point.

I've never understood the 'wrong pedal' excuse in a automatic car.
There are only 2 pedals and the brake is NEVER on the right hand side.
Then most people have 2 feet also.
Always could use the other foot if needed.
Must be from coming from a time where you drove go carts long before a car.

She hit the bridge at 30mph and was too tall too, besides being a 'little' over 6 tons.

Gotta wonder how she got her trucking license.

It's even worse than that.
She was a local too who drove over it in her car.
She missed her turn and couldn't back the rig up.

I just had 2 pedals and one speed......fast.
One reason I can drive 2 footed and good as one footed and vise versa.

In an automatic car, I've always used my right foot for go, my left foot for whoa. Seems kind of stupid not to (IMO).
