Aftermath of an X1's close call with highway overpass cement
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Luckily these two ladies in the X1 which I assume were the occupants weren't hurt. Imagine it had fallen through the roof or windshield instead of the engine?

Embarrassing indeed. Thankfully no one was seriously injured.

WOW!!! That has to be unsettling driving that route. Imaging if it hit the cabin?
I see some of NY's infrastructure and wonder how this stuff still works. Even with the non stop construction. |

Any time i drive through MTL i am always nervous under the overpasses. I just don't understand how the govt can let the roads continue to be in this state...

What is it with crumbling overpasses in Canada? I thought we denizens of the Lower 48 had the decaying infrastructure. I'm glad those in the X1 weren't hurt, and thankfully my family were fine after a chunk of concrete fell from an overpass onto our Acura near Barrie, Ontario in 2012. The authorities handled our situation well, and eventually compensated us in full.
For several months after this, I was constantly looking upward when driving under overpasses, especially those over I-95 in Chester, Pennsylvania. |

Hello insurance agent, I need to file a claim. A bridge hit my car...... I'm sorry, do you mean you hit a bridge with your car???? No you heard me correct the first time, A BRIDGE HIT MY CAR. Now there is just silence.
Glad everyone is ok
