Epic bridge crash fail compilation | video

You would think the warning signs would be enough to deter people, but this bridge keeps clocking up fails for drivers of trucks, buses and caravans. Durham North Carolina resident Jurgen Henn painstakingly collected all these mishaps for his 11foot8.com site using an array of automatic monitoring cameras after seeing successive crashes from his office window. 

"I set up the cameras in April 2008 and I have recorded 65 crashes so far," he says. "The bridge is right outside my office, so I hear the crashes every time. Many of the drivers that end up "decapitating" their trucks do not have much experience driving trucks. Most of the trucks are rentals or leased vehicles.

"I am most surprised by the drivers of full-size tractor trailers that approach the bridge carefully and then still hit it. Clearly, they saw the signs and the flashing light and they thought they'd try it anyway. But earlier this year, the city installed signage on the crash beam to make it more visible, and it looks like the frequency of crashes has been reduced." Henn will keep us posted.
