This NS bridge has survived all challengers.

I saw something similar happen - at a much lower speed - at the bridge where Boyd Station Ts into Martel. More hilarious than the truck hitting the bridge (I admit it - I'm immature, and that stuff makes me laugh) were the three construction workers standing around trying to figure out what to do about it.
It's actually pretty well known, (maybe even famous,) in the local area.
The bridge even has its own website: http://11foot8.com
Enjoy watching the numerous crashes till your heart is content. :D
60 crashes in to the bridge (or more accurately, the crash beam) since April 2008. :o
We have our own form of similar entertainment right here in North Knoxville where Central Avenue goes under the K&O between Bradford and the intermediates at Black Oak.

LOL! Yes that bridge at Martel and Boyd Station has snagged more than one brain dead driver. I didn't see it happen but happened to arrive at that very spot one morning, and there was a U-Haul rental truck wedged under the bridge. I laughed and detoured around.
Maybe they need a cam at that location.
There is a bridge not too far down the line that's 11'4. I've seen numerous trucks get stuck under it. It still has the old SR logos on it too. 8)
