"He seemed in remarkably good shape for someone who'd just rolled an automobile." In today's #FlashbackFriday, the Post-Gazette takes a look back on a misadventure on the Fort Pitt Bridge from 1967, when a young man -- identified as Gerald T. Clark, 24, of McKees Rocks* -- was driving one of those massive Chevrolets from the Eisenhower era and accelerated up the Carson Street ramp to the Fort Pitt Bridge. Ahead of him loomed a slow-moving tractor-trailer rig he wanted to pass. These photos only tell a part of what happened next.

Pictured is Bill Luete of the South Side, who was driving behind Mr. Clark (not pictured).
