'Here It Comes': Video Shows Snow-Covered Truck Hitting Overpass In Wareham
WAREHAM (CBS) – No matter how many times police tell drivers to clear the snow from their vehicles, it keeps happening.
Two days after the latest snowstorm, a truck with several inches of snow on its roof clipped an overpass on Route 25 in Wareham Thursday afternoon.
A woman and her daughter in a car traveling behind the truck caught what happened next on video.
"I was just like, 'here it comes,'" Jennifer Richards recalled.
"It was slowly coming off as we were going down the highway," Richards said of the snow. "When it hit, there were kind of small little bursts, explosions of snow."
The snow pile slammed into netting under the bridge. The netting tore apart, flew in front of traffic and the road was showered with a burst of snow.
No one was hurt.

Once again, police are reminding drivers that Massachusetts law requires you to remove snow and ice from your vehicles.
Bourne police detective Sgt. Jonathan MacDougall says an impeded operation law and a spilling or inadequately covering a load law for trucks could apply in this case.
