Truck driver ignores multiple signs, flashing lights, hits bridge

A truck driver pays the price for ignoring several warning signs in a viral video.

The video was captured in Pierre, South Dakota, and shared on March 20 by Facebook user Heath Mychael Stoeser.

In Stoeser’s video, you can see a semi truck approaching a bridge clearly marked at 11 feet 3 inches. Even though the sign is bright yellow and decked out with flashing lights, the truck driver appears to ignore it and slams into the low bridge.

The bridge has been hit by more than 100 trucks in the past 10 years. 

Since the video was posted, it has been viewed more than 20,000 times.

Here’s a little clip
