A truck driver was able to escape without serious injury after striking a low overpass on Monday.
The accident happened on January 29th at approximately 1:30 a.m. in Boston, Massachusetts.
According to Fox 25 Boston, the 18 wheeler was hauling frozen produce along Storrow Drive when the driver apparently failed to notice the posted sign stating the 11 foot clearance and struck the Cambridge Street bridge. The force of the impact crushed the top of the cab and flipped the trailer, leaving the rig blocking a portion of Storrow Drive.

No injuries were reported in the incident and the truck driver’s name has not been released.
Storrow Drive inbound was closed at Cambridge Street for about four hours as crews worked to remove the stuck rig from beneath the bridge.
The truck has since been removed and the road was reopened around 5:00 a.m.
