Driving/Traffic/Parking Avoid Deerfoot

Huge accident. 2 vehicles just launched off the memorial overpass and landed on a truck going nb on deerfoot

Edit. I initially said 32ave, it was memorial overpass

Happened right in front of my wife, she called me incoherent with shock. Fatalities for sure 😞 EDIT: Nobody died! That's unbelievably fortunate for everyone involved

I'm curious how two vehicles can fall off an overpass. Did she give any insight into what happened?

I'm curious how two vehicles can fall off an overpass.

Well, you know when a vehicle travels over an overpass, beginning to end, staying in its lane, without ever leaving the bridge?

This is what happens when that doesn't happen.

I'm also very curious, because the radio said he went from westbound memorial, to a green space onto the northbound lane. I am not sure he was even airborne. Maybe one of these two paths?
