throughout college i worked in an industrial park that had 2 entrances. One official route that 99% of the truckers took and one that was a county-farmers road that only local-yocals took because of a LOW bridge 2 miles down. The locals just new how low that bridge was. Well about once a month someone would hit it. Our town has about 5 cops and I know 2 of them. They said EVERYTIME a bridge colision happened, it was a hillbilly trucker lookin for a shortcut into the city. EVERYTIME they claimed they did not see the 4 large signs along the road. (of course admitting to scoffing at signs shows negligence...insurance prob)

one guy had a NICE cab....the hitch/yoke didnt blow (like on most) and the fiberglass trailer was just about sheared off at contact point! I saw some real wrecks
