The driver of a U-Haul truck that hit the covered bridge on Robert Parker Coffin Road in Long Grove last week talks on the phone while waiting for a tow truck. John Starks | Staff Photographer As the chief technical officer of Termico Technologies in Elk Grove Village, Mike Cubon sketched his idea to stop too-tall vehicles from hitting the historic covered bridge in Long Grove.
