Due justice - the sloppy un- attentive driver (s), should lose whatever connection they had in Sur ..lifetime denial of entry
To be fair, we don’t know what caused the driver to do that. Did a deer jump out at him? Was there something in the road? Did a crazy tourist pass him in a bad spot? Did he blow a tire?
We passed it just after it happened. It was a sprinter-sized van, possibly from a local electrician or other contractor. It was on its side, bottom facing to the road, at the north end of the bridge, facing south. Not sure how the vehicle did the damage to the bridge on the other side of the road.
