This is a welcome smile of relief from all the other bummers going on in the mountains. It could only be funnier if the truck was filled with contraband and all involved were in custody.

Since we are on the "That was stupid" topic for vehicles, I figured I'd share a YouTube channel that has tons of entertaining stupidity.
The 11 foot 8 (Now 12 foot 6) bridge has a "Can opener" that shreds anything too tall to pass under the old rail line. There is also an elaborate warning system that tells drivers to turn left or right and triggers the red light.
People often don't pay attention and smash into the Can Opener at full speed anyway with spectacular results. (See the main channel for tons more crashes)
You're welcome.
