This is a railroad bridge back in my hometown that is nortorious for getting hit by semi trucks. It only has 11'6" of clearance and there are signs everywhere that warn truckers of this. Even over 15 miles out right when you get off the interstate, which this road happends to intersect. This guy hit the bridge going out of town, same bridge, just the other one-way street. He hits the bridge and instead of stopping underneath it like everyone else does, he keeps going for over a mile leaving pieces of his trailer all over the road.



Only pic I can find right now, and I can't tell if that's even in Davenport, IA. It's old if it is. The entire bridge is now covered with orange and yellow caution signs and flashing lights now. Hell, there's even a complex warning system about a mile from the bridge that measures the height of all vehicals and turns on more flashing lights and signs if the vehical is too high. People STILL hit the damn thing.

What's always funny is the local radio station has a comedy talk show on every weekday morning, similar to Bob and Tom, only way better. They always send one of their interns over there to "ask" what happend. This results in the driver always getting pissed and the intern almost getting into a fight.
