[Ballentine was issued a citation for colliding with a fixed object, police said.] It takes two seconds to go underneath the bridge, ... He hit, and by the time he put on his brakes and stopped, he was on the other side. It's not like a little car, where you stop on a dime. |
He feels horrible because he caused the accident, ... You don't know how bad. He's never been involved in an accident. |
He miscalculated the height of his load and theheight of the bridge, ... That backhoe can be brought under that bridge if loaded on the trailer the proper way. He just measured incorrectly. |
