Back in my Week HS days I actually saw a driver do that. We were walking down the Cliff at lunchtime (heading for Houston's!) when this car passed us. The wifie was driving awfully fast, and lost control at the bottom. She stuck the nose of the car through the side of the bridge about 20 feet along. Didn't damage her car as much as I would have thought, and she wasn't badly hurt. I don't know how they got the stones back out of the river, but it was all mended the next day.

...or maybe they keep a supply of stones in a wee shed somewhere for just such repair jobbies.
