Back To Back: Bridge Eats Semi Trucks Two Days In A Row

No you’re not experiencing Déjà vu. This really happened…again.

Just yesterday we reported on a semi truck that got stuck under a bridge in Kansas City, Missouri.

The bridge, located on Independence Avenue, seems to be a trap for oncoming trucks. It’s marked with a 12-foot clearance and has multiple warning signs. But for years there has been an ongoing series of big trucks getting trapped underneath the clearance.

On Tuesday, the bridge claimed another victim.

Kansas City’s Northeast News just posted images of yet another semi truck that got stuck under the bridge. Today, a CVS pharmacy truck got lodged underneath the 12-foot overpass.

The photos speak for themselves.

The unnamed truck driver was reported to be okay, but he is now another statistic for this truck-eating bridge.

Yes, the bridge is clearly marked.
