Here’s The Terrifying Moment A Lorry Suffered Catastrophic Suspension Failure
Dashcam footage captures the moment a massive trailer suffered a suspension failure, sending it and its scrap metal cargo crashing onto the road
This scary crash happened last week on Tappan Zee Bridge, New York state. The accident closed the north-bound carriageway for four hours, and caused severe disruption to south-bound traffic. One of the drivers stuck in the aftermath of the carnage was taking his wife - who had gone into labour - to hospital. She had to be rescued from the traffic jam by state police.
The 61-year-old lorry driver was given a ticket for having a suspended license.

Holy crap, never thought I’d see my area.on CT
When you try to air lift you 18 wheeler…..
…. and remember that GTA isn’t real life
Lol I drive on this bridge all the time and I am always terrified of this happening cause the lanes are pretty narrow.
Typical NY’ers driving in the blind spot of a truck.. Either pass the truck or stay out of the blind spot..
I watched this video the morning of my trip to visit my girlfriend. I needed to cross this bridge to get to new jersey….
Axel back…
Kind of ironic that they’re listening to the traffic report
so thats the use for those kind of road dividers
