South of Boston, MA-Hundreds of passers-by slowed to point and laugh heartily at a trucker who blasted into an overpass on interstate 495, just south of Rt. 24. The truck was carrying upwards of 5 cars, and the topmost one was just high enough to strike the bottom of the overpass. The impact was extreme and sent the car hurtling off the trailer and down to the ground. Damage was considerable and the car is not expected to survive.



The driver, who was unharmed, and his truck (which was similarly unharmed), were not available for comment. Neither were the officials at the scene, as they were too busy herding the gawkers around the carnage. However, we were able to get a few comments from some of the others involved.

“I’m not quite sure how this stuff happens,” said the overpass, which was shaken emotionally but did not sustain any physical injuries. “I’m here all the time. And, a long time ago, someone put up some signs up the road a piece that said exactly how high I was. It’s not like I can get out of the way, and I have a right to be here.” The overpass went on to say that some of his colleagues on Storrow Drive have been victims of the same crime.

Friends of the unidentified victim were visibly distraught: “I’ve never liked riding up here,” said a dark-colored SUV that had been sitting directly behind the victim. There’s a reason England’s the only country who insists on having double-decker buses. Would you feel safe up here?”

The driver of the truck is expected to be charged with cruelty to an overpass and the destruction of one crappy and boring SUV.
