Dazed Driver at Pg Bridge

The Malay lady driver was still in the car after the accident. She looked dazed and I cannot blame her. I noticed that her front bumper was totally damaged by the impact. I reckoned she whacked the bridge's side concrete retainer.

Luckily, this happened very near to the end of the bridge (towards Prai). Or else, sure long %$@#@%% traffic jam.

Massive jam at Penang Bridge this morning

Not sure what had happened this morning, but it looked like a huge crane being lifted. Traffic was crawling but moving when I passed this section of the bridge at 7:05am. Some of my colleagues were stuck before reaching the bridge and turned back.
