"I think it's shocking that someone would drive off a bridge that you can see is out from the air"
Why are you equating air-visibility and ground-visibility? Holes/gaps are famously less visible from a shallow angle.
Also, "everybody else avoided it" is a really poor defense. Most safety measures solve the 1-in-1000 or 1-in-100000 scenarios, not the 1-in-10 scenarios.
Edit: Previously I said I agree that the driver's awareness played some part in the accident, but I failed to read about the extenuating conditions. I think this was nearly 0% the driver's fault.
