Sorry to hear about your truck, glad you are okay and made it home with your family.
At 0730, I was just east of you, 45 and the 130 toll road in Pflugerville. I saw EMS and police working accidents on southbound 130 under interchange and also east bound 45 on flyover to southbound 130. Appointment at Discount Tire on 685 to get tires balances and rotated. Took a route that kept me off bridges. After DTC was finished, made my mistake by crossing "over" 130 on 685 at Henrickson High School, instead of crossing "under" just to the south at Pflugerville Parkway.
I was lucky though, was going between 10 and 20 mph, rental truck in front of me (I had left a lot of room between him and me) started to slide across road and smacked left side of bridge. I slowed to a crawl, would have stopped but I started to slide. Just enough traction from time to time to keep some steering until I got to other side of bridge. Thankful I had my angel watching over me. Remainder of drive home was uneventful.
Good luck with the truck, fingers cross that it can be fixed for you.
