1-The car went over the bridge.

Can't this sentence mean two things:

b-The car went off the bridge. It went over the side of the bridge.

Gratefully,

Its most likely meaning is "a".

1-The car went over the bridge.

Can't this sentence mean two things:
a-The car went across the bridge.
b-The car went off the bridge. It went over the side of the bridge.

On reading sentence (1) I would assume (a) to be the meaning.
However, if you are describing a Ted Kennedy scenario then either of the two suggestions in (b) would make that clear.
(Although the car could also be said to go "off the bridge" once it has gone across it and reached the other end.)

b-The car went off the bridge. It went over the side of the bridge.

Gratefully,

I'm sure a more detailed context would help with a particular meaning.

In AmE, we'd almost certainly say "went off the bridge" and never "over the bridge" if the car careened out of control on a bridge. Perhaps "over the side/rail/edge"?
