My friend drives truck; has a cb in his car aswell - someone like him maybe would have been more help. When trouble is occurring, there is no telling if one can think what to do - I could say I woulda got his attention and saved the day, but clearly I wasn't there, and I don't know what I woulda actually done. But I think I wouldn't have been after the poor truck drivers fifteen minutes of fame with camera ready.

Lots of trucks have CB's, but because of all the BS on the CB these days, it's turned off, or turned down. Might not have done any good.
I don't know anything about the truck and driver. Maybe he has a 13' high trailer, maybe he's run this route before, and knows of the low clearances. He obviously cleared a few bridges before the last one. Why would the average person think that a problem is going to occur?
If he was loosing cargo, had a door open, or dragging a strap, or a chain was loose, I would try to inform him. I can't speak for what the car driver was thinking, or doing. But to say the 4 wheeler driver deserves a beatdown, because they did nothing, is wrong.
