A truck driver narrowly dodged death via 90,000 pound concrete beam in New Hampshire last week.

74 year old Clarence was quite fortunate that he was able to walk away after the oversized concrete beam he was hauling loosened and crashed into his cab as he slowed on an exit ramp.

The load was being professionally escorted. It is believed equipment failure is the cause of the accident. Fortunately, no one was hurt.
