    This sorry sot tried to drive under this underpass even though it is clearly marked. Newark is not the kind of place you can drive around not paying attention to what is in front of you...if the bridge is in the middle of your windshield...Stop!

    We didn't get close enough to get a side view to see what company it was. We just saw the truck sitting there with the driver staring up at the damage to the trailer. My wife caught a few shots but we were hurrying to get our load and get out of Newark before rush hours started.

    He could have made it under that bridge if he had concentrated and used "THE FORCE "

    Don't they realize that the posting is not a suggested height but rather the height of the underpass???
