One commenter said there's a big yellow sign that says 11'8'. in two different spots.

Google Earth shows 11'8" signs posted in both directions.

xanl/h, funny how these bridge hits seem to happen in streaks.
I don't see them for awhile,then it seems they happen every day for a few days.

Looks like one of those Chicago special trucks hauling that trailer..

As often as this happens, I'm beginning to wonder if those of us that would never attempt such a seemingly impossible feat are in the wrong. One day a 13'6" trailer will pass through an 11' underpass unscathed and the steering wheel holders of the world will have the last laugh. This is just theory, of course.

Truck lodged under viaduct? By the picture I would say he is a bit more than lodged under it. Let me guess. A Russian immigrant who has had a CDL since January? Wearing Nike's and sweat pants?

I always wonder what the hell the driver was thinking or doing when they hit a bridge that low.
