Drivers of motorhomes and those of us who pull 5th wheel trailers are (or should be) constantly aware of their height and whether they will clear overhanging limbs, tunnels, overpasses, etc.
GPS navigation devices are notorious for sending unwitting travelers down roads where they are forced to turn around.
We considered ourselves very lucky a while back when we noticed a road sign in South Dakota – we spotted it just in time to pull over and make a U turn at the last available spot on a narrow two-lane road. Google maps had us pulling our 12 foot 3 inch tall trailer through two tunnels with 8 1/2 foot clearance.
There is a railroad trestle in Durham, North Carolina, that gets hit so often it has its own website Here .
The video I’ve included below is a compilation of several of the wrecks there:
