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.

By the way... the new pavement that they're building sucks. It's brand new and already the asphalt is lumpy.
Buhay na buhay ang BGC this evening. Bukas halos lahat ng restaurants. Sabi pa nung isang cashier...
Traffic!
