Truck driver underestimates height: 30,000 euros damage to bridge!

An der Braukstraße, 46236 Bottrop, Deutschland - A 53-year-old truck driver from Croatia got stuck on Wednesday morning on Braukstraße in Recklinghausen in a spectacular way with his tractor. The driver apparently overlooked the height of his cargo and crashed into a bridge when he drove towards Gladbeck around 8:50 a.m. He had overestimated the top load of 30 centimeters - dangerous 30 centimeters, which simply made the passage impossible.

The estimated damage amounts to around 30,000 euros, but luckily the driver was not injured. For the time being, no visible damage was found over the bridge; However, further investigations and discussions with the responsible authorities are still pending. A real moment of fright for all road users!
