Truly bashed
A delivery truck carrying an articulated boom lift smashed into a bridge yesterday in Chesapeake, Virginia, wrecking the truck bed and ripping the top off of the lift.
The unit a relatively new JLG is owned by Sunbelt Rentals as is the delivery rig, the driver suffered from minor injuries in the incident. The bridge was damaged and the road was closed for some time while a large oil spill was cleaned up and the truck removed.

The superstructure is ripped off
The bridge is supposedly over four metres high (13’8”), which should have provided sufficient headroom as the stowed height of the machine is around three metres.

The lower bridge is supposed to have a clearance of almost 4.2 metres
