    What probably happened is somebody told him was that the briges up here are always higher than they are marked. Now that may be the case in some parts up here but not every where. That driver should have known before he ever got to it that it was to low.

    I don't think CRE has a piece of equipement on the road that isn't damaged in some way. You think if they keep crashing their equipement they might run out of things to drive?

    With all the mis-marked bridges out there he probably assumed this one was like that as well. I've been under countless bridges marked 10-11ft with a 13' 6" truck. I wish everyone would just mark bridges with their ACTUAL height.
