i heard a report on cbc radio but only caught a small part of it, so wasnt' sure i heard correctly.

It depends on whether is classifed as a car accident or not. If it's a 'car accident' they're SOL.

After reading some of these replies I am reminded of the Huey P. Long bridge in New Orleans. I am from the N.O. area and have been on that bridge many times. The damn thing sways left to right. To make matters worse, there is a train track that runs across the top. Scary shit.

I thought I saw somewhere that there are bridges that intentionally sway side to side .. that's kinda weird and scary. I wouldn't go on it.

Anywho, I saw on the news somewhere that people are saying that IL, the gov't has been diverting like $2 billion of the money that's suppose to go into repairing roads and bridges into government related functions. Not sure how true it is since it is fox news i saw it on after all.
