#13: A Bridge Too Low
This photo captures the exact kind of mishap every driver hopes to avoid. Two large trucks managed to wedge themselves under the same bridge at practically the same moment, each coming from opposite directions. The result was a total traffic lockdown with every lane blocked in both directions. To anyone passing by, it must have felt like watching a strange, frustrating puzzle unfold.
A small van ended up caught in the gridlock with no way forward or backward. What makes the situation even more baffling is how preventable it was. Guessing the clearance height of a bridge is a risky move for any big rig driver. A slight miscalculation turned an ordinary commute into a tangled mess that no one will forget anytime soon.
