Best thing they can do is to take a few pry bars and get that one wheel off the rail and let it go on down!! If they try to pick it up with a crane, it will prolly result in another crane accident to be posted on youtube!!

Wouldn't be that hard to recover with a rotator wrecker, especially since it's a small single axle truck. I helped out on one kind of like that about a year ago on a single axle dump. Got stuck a little different however, that one had gotten the top edge of the bed stuck in a metal rail instead of being held by a tire.
I would be interesting to know if the tire held up until a wrecker got there or if it took the plunge.

If you look at the tire it is flat. Gosh Darn all the guy wanted to do is get access to the spare. Hope he has a wheel wrench.

Even if they could winch it back onto the bridge, who's the lucky one who gets to hook up the cable? lol

Here, rookie, climb out on that corner of the truck and hook this chain so I can winch it up......

I wonder how the truck got there? It had to be the perfect sequence of events to land the truck where it is?
