Trucks don't belong on parkways.

SEE IT: Truck collides into low overpass on Long Island's Meadowbrook State Parkway - NY Daily News.

Ouch! No chance that is going to buff out.

Nope. None at all

I want to build a house out of whatever that bridge was made out of

not even a scratch where that trailer hit the bridge.

Its amazing the can still take a beating. They were built in the 30's.

Question: Do people really drive around with a dash cam on? I don't get it.

I've wondered the same thing for a while now.

What I find curious is that each of those bridges were marked for height.

First arched bridge posted at 10'4" Cleared fine.

Second bridge posted at 13'3" No problem.

Third arched bridge posted at 10'5" and BAM!!!

Someone that graduated math class needs to get back out there with a tape measure and correct that

he was recording it with his phone or camera...he had it in his hand when he went by the truck and under the bridge. I think he noticed that the truck was getting really close to the overpasses and decided to record it...I probably would have done the same thing lol

it looks like he scraped the first arched bridge...I saw dust/dirt come off the top of the trailer. if he would have moved over into the middle lane he probably would have been ok...maybe.

We have a tunnel like this. Every once and a while a semi or RV will ignore the warning signs and get stuck. They have even installed a 4" pipe hanging by chains 50ft that when hit sets off lights and bells in front of the entrance to help warn drivers.

I always wondered if they remeasure after they resurface the road. Some of the bridges are even lower than 10'.

I wouldn't, I think I would have just got the hell away from it. If I had the ability to record it, that just means I'm too damn close to it, even with a zoom lens
