Witkowski said he tried to pull ahead of the driver to flag him down, but the vehicle was heading too quickly near an oncoming bridge.

The man pulled over and recorded on his cellphone as the truck's bed collided with the bridge.

Witkowski said the cab kept going for about 50 feet with the bed broken off at the bridge.

The driver of the truck was not injured, Witkowski said.
