I'm going to have to call BS, that ledge is way too thin to support the weight of a truck. Plus the road wouldn't even be save with a drop off like that eroding underneath it. They would have tore it up and built a better bridge by now that was safer. They would have had to put heavier guard railing up as well to meet safety standards.

Wow!! that is amazing. I could see that as being possible, just highly unlikely.

Looks real to me. There is debris on the concrete pipe ledge too. Could have been knocked loose in the crash. Truck could have ridden the lower guardrail after exiting roadway and spun around to end up where it did.
Also, road construction rules may be very different in Iran. This may be how it's done there.

Some less impressive shots of one I did.
I was coming from the direction the van is pointing towards, hit a puddle about 100ft long, the rear end came around, and the nose dropped off the road, grabbed traction, and spun 180 while sliding off into the near dry creek bed about 8ft down from the road. Rolled over and landed on the driver's side on a log about 20ft from some trees that had been cut off probably 3-4ft tall.
I climbed through the passenger front door and stood on the side of the van and called for a ride. This woman stopped and wouldn't leave till my ride came. Ambulance driver didn't believe me that I was OK. Everyone was surprisingly asking, "You did that?", when I was walking around and getting pics.
Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.
