That Infamously 11-Foot-8 Bridge Has Some Tough Competition

The infamous “11-foot-8" bridge in Durham, North Carolina, has delivered far fewer hilarious crashes after it gained another eight inches in height, but that bridge isn’t the only low bridge looking for trucks to snack on.

The Reading Eagle reported on Tuesday that a truck driver tried and failed to squeeze his rig, hauling a shipping container, under an 11-foot, 7-inch rail bridge in Ontelaunee Township, Pennsylvania. For those of you counting, that’s an inch shorter than the bridge in Durham before it was raised.

How did the truck driver get things so wrong? According to police, the truck driver was following a GPS route and thought that the bridge clearance sign said 13-feet 6-inches, not 11-feet, 7-inches. Oops.
