This time there was an accident on the bay bridge. A truck went right over the gaurd rails and plummetted 200 feet straight down. Heres the report:
"A Hayward man was killed Monday morning when the big-rig he was driving went out of control and plunged over the side of the Bay Bridge, a California Highway Patrol spokesman said.
The accident happened at about 3:30 a.m. when the driver of a westbound big-rig carrying a full load of pears lost control on the bridge's S-curve and went over a traffic barrier, falling about 200 feet to Yerba Buena Island below, CHP Officer Trent Cross said.
The driver was killed and the truck was left a pile of mangled debris. The driver worked for a trucking company based in San Ramon, Cross said. His name has not yet been released.
The truck log showed the driver filled up the rig right before the crash, and it was carrying 150 gallons of fuel before the crash.
Cross said the driver was speeding at about 50 mph when the crash happened. Officers said there were no skid marks on the road to suggest the driver tried to brake." (news10)
