A witness saw the crash — but nobody could find the wreck (via toofab)
According to Tennessee Highway Patrol, weather appears to have been the cause; they believe the truck struck a median concrete wall and toppled over it, falling 100ft and landing in thick undergrowth, where it remained hidden from view."There's a very strong possibility that they either hydroplaned or, as we all know, bridges always freeze first," Lt. Doddo said."They could have hit a patch of ice and went up over the railing.
In a bizarre twist, it emerged that a witness had seen the accident, and called 911 — but left the scene before police arrived to tell them what happened. "This family would have been found a lot sooner had that person stuck around," Lt. Doddo told the outlet. "Two troopers did respond there and they did not see anything. I can understand from the placement of the vehicle where the vehicle was why nobody would see the vehicle down there," he said."You would either have to look under the bridge or lean over the side of the bridge and basically be underneath the bridge to see where they were. It was that difficult of a position to be seen from above.
"The family is devastated," Lt. Doddo added."You've lost almost an entire generation in one crash, that's tragic in itself. This is just a tragic weather related accident."
