More precisely at the northbound (upper-deck) at the US 1 North (Exit 27) gore.

Personally, I'm surprised that he wasn't hit by southbound/lower-deck traffic upon landing.
The viaduct & ramp in question were constructed in 2003 (based on the casting date) as part of the Central Artery North Area/Zakim Bridge project. Such replaced the original early-70s vintage double-decker section of I-93 in that vicinity. The limits of the 2003 viaduct end just north of the Exit 27 off-ramp.
It's amazing he survived with just a black eye...and didn't kill anyone in the process. Thank got RMV permanently yanked his license. Now he can rely on the MBTA like the rest of us poor schlubs!

I am sure that the vehicle will need some front-end work! ;-)

It is my understanding that he was
already driving without a license (was it already suspended for a previous infraction?). If such didn't stop him from driving then (which led to the incident at hand); what's keeping him from illegally driving again?
Seeing the footage reminded me of the phrase (or variations of it) Milton Berle (as J. Russell Finch) in
It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World kept saying during the very early part of the film.
"He just sailed right out there."
