Okay, stay with me on this one.... The boom was facing the other way (180 out) from it's position, not sticking straight up. In fact, it was probable about a 35 degree angle. It hit the bottom of the overpass, stuck and traveled through it's arc until it penetrade the bed of the overpass. Any questions?

Yeah I'm still lost. Are you saying it was going down the road and the tip of the crane boom caught a low side of the overpass and then sent the boom itself skyward through the bottom of the roadway? I guess it's possible. But how did the crane stay on the flatbed? Seems to me like the flatbed would have kept going and left the crane behind.
the crane is chained to whats left of the trailer
the weight of the excavator being forced thru the trailer to the ground would be enough to keep it there..
