Les was driving his truck from Port Adelaide to the Barrosa, he was driving behind a van towing a big boat, he said he saw the boat trailer sway slightly, the driver corrected it, then it did it again but this time the trailer is swaying and the van was swaying too. The guy lost it when the van turned sideways to the left and hit the bridge. Les stopped, a nurse was driving by and also stopped to help the driver. It appears the driver wasn't badly hurt, but the van is a total write off as it crashed into the bridge side on...and the boat and trailer were undamaged. Ghee he was so lucky.
Les said the boat and trailer were obviously too heavy for the light van he was using. Ghee some people take risks, not just with their own lives, but with everyone else's on the road too.

Especially scary when following and you can't do anything but watch it happen.

It's hard to feel sorry for people who take ridiculous risks that not only endanger themselves but other road users as well.
