3.b Driver is in a hurry to get home... late na! Presses the button to lower the bed, but doesn't notice that the bed doesn't lower.
4. Driver runs into overpass at around 60-80 km/h. Truck twists and bends like a pretzel as the bed wedges in and lifts the truck six feet into the air (sorry, di ko na-picturan yun... it was amazing!). The stress is unbelievable, and all the glass on the truck shatters from the deformation.
