The radio station that I was listening to on the way home from work said that it was still stuck there at 3:45 pm. So it seems that it took a lot longer to get it out than previously thought.

Maybe he should have checked his handy dandy drivers atlas for low bridge underpass....oh yeah that's right everybody listens to #####in betty anymore.

Not sure if his drivers atlas would even let him know about this bridge.
The only sign I could see using google street view is right on the turn onto that street. If he was making a right onto high school road there is almost no way he could have seen the sign before getting to the bridge, it faces away from that right turn.
I can't post a link to it as I don't have enough posts, but search on google maps for:
High School Rd and kentucky ave, Indianapolis, Marion, Indiana 46224
You can do the street view from the intersection then head north, pretty nasty looking area to me. -
Where was he planning to go? I looked at the google maps, there's nothing but a residential area north of that bridge. There is some kind of warehouse further up north of that road, but it has a driveway dumping out on Kentucky.
I think Crete was relying too much on that Tom Tom if you ask me. -
The low clearance in this case is on a city street...High School Road. Since High School Road is not a designated US Route/State Route/County road it would not be listed in the low clearance info. The lesson here is don't go trekking off onto non-designated roads unless you're familiar with the road.panhandlepat and Working Class Patriot Thank this.
