The story offered with the picture was that the driver forgot to pin the deck and it collapsed on the lower car. In my opinion that does not match the picture.

This is off of WFAA.com:

DALLAS – Westbound lanes on Interstate 30 were reopened early this morning after a smash-up near St. Francis Avenue.

A car hauler was passing under the bridge, but couldn’t clear it, hitting the nose of a van on top of the hauler. The van tumbled from the hauler, causing a mess for cleanup crews.

Part of the interstate around the bridge was closed for about an hour as TxDOT crews inspected the bridge and clean-up was under way.

No one was hurt and the bridge is intact.
