Scroll down to the bottom for a June news article.

It is amazing how little visible damage was sustained by the Huindai
excavator.

The Kansas DOT site has the worst search engine I've used in a while!!

on the 14 feb 2006 someone posted shots of a tracked excavator sitting
atop a low loader zipping along at freeway speeds that had the arm
come up and spear through an overhead concrete road bridge.

(it really was that long ago)

does anyone know what eventuated out of the accident?

was the bridge repaired in situ or was the span demolished and
replaced?
what happened to the company that owned the excavator?

these photos resurfaced in an email recently and it piqued my
interest.
I've always wondered what the consequential happenings were regarding
that accident.
