BOSTON, Massachusetts (WCVB) — Storrow Drive claimed another victim Thursday night when an over-height moving truck struck a low bridge over the notorious Boston road.

Video from another driver shows the crinkled roof of the truck dangling from the bridge, which is marked with a yellow “Clearance 11 ft 0 in” sign.

The moving truck, which was torn open like a tin can, pulled over a short distance past the bridge.

Trucks and commercial vehicles are banned from Storrow Drive due to the low heights of most of the overpasses on the road that parallels the Charles River.

Fines for “storrowing” can vary, especially when you take into consideration any damage, but failure to obey a sign in Massachusetts that can cost drivers up to $150.
