"WESTBROOK (WGME) -- A truck driver collided into a low bridge on Wednesday, shutting down Brown Street in Westbrook for hours."
"The bridge stands at 11 feet 5 inches, which is about two feet shorter than the tractor-trailer that attempted to drive under it."
Thankfully, it sounds like there were no injuries reported.

"...and when she spoke to the driver, he claimed he was following a GPS that didn’t show this bridge on the map.
About 300 feet before the bridge is a warning sign, marked with the bridge’s height."
