They’ll never get that stain out of the driver’s seat...

Not sure I'd want to stand where the two guys next to the truck are standing.

Also interesting is that the guard rail is down, but it's on the other side of the culvert. Kind of makes you wonder how the truck got over to the left side.

If you look closely, it appears he was driving from the right, crossed the opposite lane, through the guiderail, flipped OVER the culvert and landed on its wheels. The truck is "bent" and the front end appears to have damage. Had to be a DWI because only someone drunk would survive that. 😂

It was between Boise ID and Idaho City at Lucky Peak Reservoir. He went through the guard rail, jumped that far and ended up pointing the opposite direction he was going. This happened several years ago.

The driver of that truck probably had one hell of a time choking his heart out of his throat.

I think there's been some Photoshopping done to that second shot. Looking at the spot on Google Earth in 3D view, it doesn't appear to be nearly as much or as steep of a drop as that 2nd image suggests.

See what you think...

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Hurricane,+UT+84737/@37.1770629,-113.2831922,202a,35y,39h,62.47t/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x80caf134ea400f6d:0x28c42649981dafcc!8m2!3d37.1752607!4d-113.2899484

But, even so, I wouldn't want to drive off it. That was one very lucky driver!

He must have those new super glue tires on that truck.

According to snopes.com, it's a 200' drop:

Maybe we can get Cany143 to take new photos?

It's a long way down. I've been over that bridge many times.
