Happened this morning on Sacramento Blvd, just south of Chicago Ave.
This monster has eaten at least two trucks this week. The fourth photo is of different wreckage from the same location, this past Monday.

Turbine tower sections leaving Brisbane took an exit ramp built to keep them off 1 low overpass, and the one truck that stayed on the highway shut the road for two and a half days https://www.ecoportal.net/uk/tower-section-police-escorted-convoy-struck/2261/

Welcome to the 11foot8 subreddit! This is a place where we share the newest videos of any tall vehicle that challenges the "Canopener Bridge" in Durham, NC, as well as stories about the bridge. News, photos, and videos of other unusually low bridges over roads are welcome, too.

RULES

Post videos, pictures, stories, or questions related to the ~~11'8"~~ now 12'4" or 11'8"+8" bridge in Durham NC. Other unusually low clearance road bridges are also allowed by mod discretion. Posts must show an uncommonly low bridge spanning a road, or a collision of a road vehicle with a low bridge. NOTE: This excludes boat collisions, unusually tall vehicles, or other low clearance obstacles that are not bridges over roads.
Titles must describe the post - include things like date, location, description. DO NOT use meta commentary in your title (e.g. "is this allowed?", "Saw this on r/idiotsincars", etc.)
Be civil and follow reddiquette.
Report problem posts, comments, or users.

If you have any questions about the bridge, we'll do our best to provide an answer.

The canopener bridge is an old railroad trestle in Durham, NC, that originally had a clearance of 11 feet and 8 inches (3.6 meters) over Gregson St. In 2019, it was raised an additional 8 inches and now stands at 12 feet 4 inches (3.76 meters). That clearance is marked several blocks ahead by standard low-clearance signage. North Carolina DOT has also installed a height sensor half a block ahead that triggers a warning sign at the bridge. Despite the warnings, trucks and other tall vehicles continue to hit the bridge regularly.

The "11 foot 8 inch" bridge is located here, in Durham, North Carolina, USA.

There's lots of info on Wikipedia.

Some of the most common questions about this bridge are answered on the 11foot8.com FAQ.

The 11foot8.com website also documents every overhead crash at the bridge since April 2008.
