If you saw it live on television, you probably were rooted to the floor with your mouth open. You were terrified and in awe. Two passenger cars, a pickup truck and an 18 wheeler crashed on the 2nd Street Bridge in Louisville across the Ohio River. The 18 wheeler was hanging off the side of the bridge with the driver in the cab.

When the news cut into the accident, this is the image that was broadcast:
