Could of been worse.
A bridge in Doncaster collapsed after a crane hit it.

This happens quite a lot near me. There's an A road which narrows considerably to go under an aqueduct with a maximum height of 3m. There are signposts everywhere within about 3 miles of the low bridge but almost every day a lorry assumes it won't apply to them and discovers it's about a metre too tall.
Cue the reversing lights going on and an artic attempting to reverse half a mile up a single carriageway NSL speed limit road into several dozen cars at a standstill behind it....
All the locals (me included) use another route now

Oh the irony - I just popped out and forgot to take the alternative route....to find an HGV reversing up the road away from the aqueduct. On the way back I counted six large, bold signs stating exactly where the bridge is, how tall it is and what would fit under it. I'm not sure how they can miss them...Cue the reversing lights going on and an artic attempting to reverse half a mile up a single carriageway NSL speed limit road into several dozen cars at a standstill behind it....

One of my previous bosses crashed the lorry into a bridge while carrying a forklift with a high mast. Ended up splitting the low loading trailer in two. The same boss some years later done similar when transporting a sideloading forklift back to the workshop only this time the forklift was a write off.
