Clearly, This Truck Won’t Fit Under This 12 Foot Bridge

There’s a bridge in Kansas City, Missouri that’s been kicking ass and taking names.

In the past few years, this bridge on Independence Ave. has claimed multiple trucks as its victims, despite its warning signs. The bridge is marked with a 12-foot height clearance, but for some reason, the warnings clearly aren’t enough.

On Monday afternoon, the bridge claimed another victim.

KMBZ posted the images of the dramatic aftermath on their Facebook page, showing the truck wedged between the road and the bridge.  It’s perhaps the most acrobatic one yet.

Here’s another view, captured by reader Larry Holmes, who witnessed the incident.

The lesson?  If it looks like it can’t fit, then it probably won’t.
