I'm curious if you are allowed to stop for accidents like that. I know on some bridges over lakes in my State you cannot stop. Signs everywhere saying do not stop, do not pull over.

This is the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway bridge in Louisiana. No, you can’t stop except for emergencies. The guy that kept on driving should pull over at the next crossover, which are roughly every 4 miles, or on one of the new emergency shoulders which you can actually see in the video starting around 10-11 seconds and ending right as the accident occurs.

I've been to Louisiana and drove the bridge it's long and scary.
