In this case, the bridge survived, but the impact so unstabilized the truck/trailer/backhoe combination that the backhoe left the trailer and the full-size construction-site dirt truck rolled at highway speed. The driver did not survive. Last summer I came upon a similar scene on US 29 in Virginia, in which a very large backhoe had been towed on a trailer behind a dump truck.

Because the designers didn't account for the weight of water.
