Trucker vs. Overpass: Wind Turbine Edition

Imagine hauling a giant wind turbine and getting it stuck under a highway overpass—yep, that happened near Brisbane! The trucker missed his support crew’s off-ramp cue, wedged the massive load under Mount Crosby Road, and now the highway’s closed for a week. Locals are facing major detours, and the overpass took a serious hit. No injuries, but this driver’s got a story for life (and maybe a new GPS). Just another wild day on Aussie roads! #TruckingFails #HighwayDrama #Queensland #WindTurbine #EpicCommute #Transportation

I can’t tell you how many truck drivers who have hit the bridge overpasses at I-90 sprague, I-90 Tokio, I-90 Coker,. The drivers are responsible there permits tell them where they have to exit and re-enter on there route.
