In the video, Billy and his mate, drive past some traffic cones and a police car before reaching the damaged truck.
The lorry driver was transporting multiple cars and after seemingly misjudging the height of their vehicle, caused a fair bit of damage to the motors stacked at the top.
Billy can be heard saying: “Rule 101, always check the height of your wagon.”
He then jokingly adds: “Can’t park there, sir.”
“If it helps, there weren’t any signs or markings anywhere stating the height of the bridge, so that’s a government flaw,” Billy, who works in construction, told What’s The Jam.
“The car on the top front hit the bridge that hard, it got sent over the car behind it and was wedged in.
“And due to the impact, it caused every car on the trailer to be seriously damaged.
“The truck was left untouched in the same position for over 12 hours while the structural integrity of the bridge was deemed safe by an engineer causing serious delays.”
The social media post has gained over 18,700 likes and tons of comments from users.
Dan said: “Imagine ringing your boss and explaining this.”
Mick added: “Really come on got to be a new driver.”
Someone else wrote: “That’s a bad day at the office.”
Another user commented: “Ouch, that’s gonna be expensive.”
Brandon joked: “That’s where my new car is.”
