Someone had a bad day

I once saw a garbage truck hit a railroad overpass in the same manner. The truck was doing about 40 MPH and essentially exploded on impact. The driver was uninjured, but the truck was upside down and in multiple pieces.

I saw the result of a car carrier going under a trestle with insufficient clearance. He ended up wedged and had to let pressure out of the tires in order to get it out. The first car on top was destroyed by the impact. It was pushed back into the car behind it and totaled that one. The engine from the first car came out and landed on the first vehicle on the bottom level. It was quite a sight to see.

I think the low riders in East LA will not be affected

We have watched a huge crane on the back of a truck trailer not make it under a bridge, the crane boom go BOOM.

In Boston we have some low bridges, one of the infamous bridges is near a college so every year we get a fresh bunch of outsiders that learn about the low bridge.

This was eye-opening. I've rented trucks like these on several occasions and never had any awareness of the height of them. I could easily have been starring in one of those videos.

This might be worse than trying to squeeze under.

Jeebus, that poor guy probably lost his job. However, his decision making was very poor. May have done him a favor.
