I accidentally blew past a weigh station

I was coming down a steep grade letting my ACC do all of the work for me, and while I was busy trying to throw my fireball out the window (going around a bend of course to be discreet) I felt a crazy amount of vibration coming from the engine area, when I looked up I realized I was running straight through a bunch of traffic cones not realizing the lane was closed. Luckily a nice trucker in the other lane let me in, he was screaming and pounding his dash and even slammed on his brakes for me, clearly a sign of joy. Anyways that’s when I noticed the weigh station whizzing off behind me and my prepress was blinking red so I assume that means it’s broken… will I get in trouble for this?
