I'd say the dipshit got deep into a residential area and was trying to turn around, sucks he backed into a ditch.


Definitely looked like a TIGHT turn on that road in the picture. One of the biggest "rookie" mistakes in this field would be using a regular car GPS system as opposed to a commercial GPS that will plot out specific routes that a commercial or placarded vehicle may use... This often results in extremely costly mistakes, as most 'prohibited' roads for trucks are 'prohibited' for specific reasons, ie., low bridges and bridges with weight limits that cannot handle such vehicles... There is a CSX railway bridge in Massachusetts that is nicknamed the "career suicide bridge", because the underpass running below has a clearance of 11'8... And you guessed it... At least 3 de-roofings a week, sometimes at considerable speed.

Here is something else that is major facepalm fodder... Common sense really does not grow in everybody's garden... I'd be hesitant to attempt a "eweie" on this road with a Mitsubishi Fuso, much less with what this guy is driving...



Edit: MA, not NJ, and the little devil is 11'8 clearance...

I believe you are talking about this, it was 11' 8", it is now 12' 4" with height sensors that trigger a red light and a huge sign flashing "over height must turn" still happens.
How many bridges have there own website?

That one was bad, but it is actually that one's evil little brother that took even more hits...



Correction on my part: It is actually Westwood, MA, not NJ...

I can tell you from experience that big trucks can be trouble, even for the experienced.
I spent a long weekend in Massachusetts some 35 years ago.

I'm here to say that the streets in New Bedford Mass get seriously SMALL after sundown and before sunrise for a bobtail tractor.


Oh the stuff good people do when they are young.

Wow,all the money they spent on that failure.

We have a Tressel like this and nothing can be done to fix it because of the massive amounts of concrete that was used in it's construction in 1930 and lack of drainage.

Well not only that but the railroad just flips the bird at the road jurisdictions and say build around us we have more swing than you.
 
There are tons of these stories and it hilariously maddening, but the way this was handled...pure Trump style ...❤️ It. And (from the story) Kristie Alley’s tweet was perfection to that dumbass. 🥲😉🤙
