According to FarceBark our Mark gl_rs was in the vicinity...(Not hurt BTW)...Perhaps he nudged the surport piller with his belly...

I noticed he was getting a bit plump. No wonder he needs all that TI

Was that a low bridge then or tall vehicle.

Ouch! Yamaha MT-07

Wow look how close he was to becoming brown bread. If that lorries trailer could not have coped with the weight of the bridge then that would have been it. Lucky...very lucky.

M20 bridge collapse: Injured biker, 73, recalls 'chaos' > http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-37224187

A motorcyclist who was injured when a pedestrian bridge collapsed on to the M20 has described how he threw himself off his bike to avoid the impact.

Jim Shaw suffered broken ribs when the footbridge near Maidstone was hit by a lorry carrying a digger on Saturday.

The 73-year-old was travelling at 70mph towards London when "chaos broke loose" and "bits were flying everywhere".

"I moved to the outside lane. There was only one place to go. I threw the bike on the floor and went under," he said.

Wow that took some bottle to throw yourself to the ground at 70 with other vehicles about. I guess it was that or get decapitated. Sounds like a scene from of a movie. I just noticed what it says above the bike on the bridge LOL

i don't agree the bridge collapsed, it was bloody knocked to the ground. I heard it on the radio to start with and no lorry hitting it was mentioned. thats like saying a bullet hit somebody, Umm somebody shot somebody they mean. The media people are b8stard and report what they want. i could happily kick the feck out of Piers morgan, oops thread swap sorry.

That bloke was lucky though. I bet the Driver who hit the bridge wont have to pay though.

The bridge was closed due to safety concerns, and they'd recently been working on it? Don't think a lorry hit it.
