A FILM director would have to pay a fortune to use AC/DC’s “Highway To Hell” in a disaster movie about a bridge collapsing.

But for a couple driving across a stretch of Philadelphia’s I95 10 minutes before it fell away earlier this month, the fitting soundtrack music came completely free of charge.

A tractor-trailer carrying petrol flipped over on the important East Coast route two Sundays ago, causing the bridge to collapse.

The driver of the tractor-trailer lost control of his vehicle while entering an off-ramp.

The scene was discovered by a couple who were filming as they drove – and they just happened to have Ackadacka’s 1979 hit about another arterial route leading to an important destination playing on the stereo at the time.

Truck driver Nathaniel Moody died in the accident. The stretch of road is expected to re-open within two weeks.
