A semi truck got stuck under a bridge in Jackson, Mississippi, earlier this week, blocking off the road for several hours.
The driver of the truck, which was hauling frozen food, told reporters he was trying to make it onto a nearby Interstate when the the top of his rig got wedged on the overpass. The incident occurred around 2 a.m. on Wednesday morning near Gallatin and South Street.
According to WAPT, the driver was surprised he got stuck. He told reporters he “was able drive under the bridge, but could not get through to the other side.”
The bridge had multiple 11’4″ height clearance signs. The semi trailer is estimated to be 13’6″ tall.
The load of frozen food was loaded onto another tractor trailer. The stuck big rig was finally removed around 10:30 a.m., more than 8 hours later.
