Truck didn't handle the curve, overturned, and... WHOOM. Right under the bridge it all went up, creating a fire so hot that it literally melted the damn bridge. It's at the intersection of Interstates 20/59 and 65, now intersected a little more closely. They'll have to demolish and rebuild that, or at least lower the weight limit to one stout guy on a bicycle.

Almost nothing left of the truck!
