I'll stick to walking - as long as you look both ways, you're only vulnerable to birdy poop!

Truck drivers aren't the only ones that have problems with load heights.

Yes, I hope that he kept a close eye on the temp gauge and learnt a lesson without it hitting his bank balance.

Cheers.

https://abc7.com/traffic/las-traffic-lights-modified-to-reduce-speeding-amid-pandemic/6109112/
LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Angelenos who are still driving to work during the coronavirus pandemic may have noticed that traffic lights in Los Angeles have been adjusted.

The change is part of an effort to reduce speeding on the city's relatively empty streets amid stay-at-home orders.

The lights are operating indefinitely on "nighttime" mode, which allows them to operate independently to serve vehicles as they arrive.

Motorists' average speeds in Los Angeles have increased by as much as 30 percent in the past month, according to some reports.

https://abc7.com/driver-wearing-n95-mask-passed-out-crashed-police-say/6129475/
LINCOLN PARK, N.J. -- A New Jersey police department says what officials called "excessive" wearing of a medical mask is believed to have been a factor in a single-car crash after the driver and sole occupant of the vehicle passed out behind the wheel.

The Lincoln Park police department said in a Facebook post that the driver had been wearing the N95 medical mask for several hours. Police said the driver apparently passed out behind the wheel "due to insufficient oxygen intake/excessive carbon dioxide intake." No other details about the accident or driver were provided.

Pakistan Airlines plane crash: At least two of the 98 on board survive as A320 plunges into crowded Karachi suburb.

A jetliner carrying 98 people crashed yesterday in a crowded neighbourhood near the airport in Pakistan's port city of Karachi after an apparent engine failure during landing.
Officials said there were two survivors from the plane but also found at least 57 bodies in the wreckage.
It was unknown how many people on the ground were hurt as the Pakistan International Airlines jet, an Airbus A320, plowed into an alley and destroyed at least five houses.
The pilot of the Pakistani International Airlines Flight 8303 was heard transmitting a mayday to the tower shortly before the crash of the Airbus A320, which was flying from Lahore to Karachi.

https://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2020/05/22/Dump-truck-with-raised-bed-collides-with-highway-overpass/6501590179906/
May 22 (UPI) -- A traveler on a Wisconsin highway captured video of the moment a dump truck with its bed up collided with an overpass bridge.

Jim Witkowski said he was driving Thursday near Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport when he noticed a dump truck traveling nearby with its bed raised.

Witkowski said he tried to pull ahead of the driver to flag him down, but the vehicle was heading too quickly near an oncoming bridge.

The man pulled over and recorded on his cellphone as the truck's bed collided with the bridge.

Witkowski said the cab kept going for about 50 feet with the bed broken off at the bridge.

The driver of the truck was not injured, Witkowski said.
