Here is a list of trucks crashing into bridges. This compilation makes you wonder how some of those bridges are still standing after being hit by these trucks! Some of these drivers/companies don't seem to learn their lesson. A particular yellow truck for example, must have hit the same bridge about 3 times!

 A friend of mine was driving a box truck and he did the exact same thing. The news came out and put it on TV, and it was in the newspapers. He was standing to the side of the bridge, looking down, we were dying, laughing at him and to this day, which it's been 17 years now, we still give him a hard time, it is so much fun, so happy he did this, of course, we made sure he was ok first, but still it is fun to torture him with it and I still bring out the newspaper clipping evey once in a while, just to pick on him, after all, he is like a brother to me it's just fun to do it that way. He always gets embarrassed, but he knows we love him.
 After the 800th accident at the same location, you think someone might want to raise the bridge height to 30 feet.  Hitting a bridge could happen to anyone.  I'm a truck driver and I know the disappointment I would feel.  Its not the end of your career but you never live it down.  This is why we should always stay a way from trucks on the wheels because everything turns terrible in a second with it's wide turns, blindspots and high clearances.  They have just raised the 11 foot 8 Bridge. But watching so many in a row i noticed something about that particular bridge. The ROAD had a raised section in it just before the bridge. So the trucks were actually being raised higher just before hitting.  That's not always the drivers fault. In some cases the city has repaved the street and it is now 3 inches taller than it used to be. The 11'8" no longer applies. That's on the city, not the driver....
