    A $100,000 trailer sliced open in a tunnel | Watch
    A semi-truck attempting to pass through a tunnel ended in dramatic fashion when the trailer tipped and its roof was completely sheared off. The footage shows the moment the trailer makes contact with the low clearance, ripping open the top structure in seconds. Debris scattered inside the tunnel as traffic came to a halt. The incident highlights how even small miscalculations in height or positioning can lead to costly and dangerous outcomes.

    He wasn't over height; he took the curve too fast.

    I think they put too many zeros on the value of that trailer.

    Yeah, that was probably the value of the ammo he was hauling.

    Looks like he was real close to head butting that bridge. That would give you a headache for sure.

    Hope the driver had his fmsca mandated accident kit. The one that includes broken triangles, fussee flares and fresh dot numbers to cover up the old ones.

    Accident happened before he ever reached the tunnel and no doubt speed caused it.

    Glad it didn't land on that squarebody Chevy in the other lane. What a mess!

    Has anyone pinpointed the exact location of the incident? In the caption it says I-94.
