Still, it's another good example of people coming to grief from relying on GPS, Google Maps, &c.

It looks like every I-beam up to the middle of the trailer is bent. It may be repairable, unlike the first example.

Actually a great design, the deck is weaker than the super structure so it the fuse that fails first. Looks very repairable.

I used google maps to find a food store the other day. It got me right to the door. The back door.
