Amazingly, alcohol appears to have been involved.  Not amusing.

It's kind of an awkward spot, as US-131 curves left just as one approaches the overpass. There used to be a flashing warning light at the top of the SBD off-ramp (before they replaced the overpass) that would confuse people at night, as it initially appears US-131 has to stop.

It's fortunate for the drunk driver and other motorists that he cleared the overpass and nobody happened to be crossing over US-131 at that moment.
