Boxtruck wrestles with 11foot8 bridge while train crosses
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 мар 2019
- On March 13, another rental boxtruck got stuck at the canopener and ended up in a bit of a wrestling match with the bridge. Right at that time a train crosses the trestle as well. After about 10 Minutes, the bridges finally lets the truck go, but the driver still has to deal with the impatient car drivers, before he can finally get his busted truck out of there. This was crash # 144 since 2008.

There needs to be confetti released when someone smacks the bridge.
Hahahaha, yes, this.
They would never keep up with cleaning it
LMAO
There is. It's made out of the truck
Or fireworks
2:24 The sign bounces back into his face like, I SAID 11' 8"'.
It's shaking it's head in disappointment.
I was just about to make the exact same comment.
looooooooooooooooooooooool
Honestly the best part
my fav part, it's like READ YOU IDIOT
At 2:24 the sign becomes an animate object, full of life and wisdom: "No, I tried to tell you and you ignored me."
The sign gave him a slap lol
😂
It's like the sign is shaking its head
btuh im dead
It always amuses how the "residents" of the town just keep going about in their daily routine.
"Oh well, Just another Idiot @ the Bridge, What else is New "?
Some of them look more like "hey, I'm not getting caught up in that, let's gtfo".
And to be honest, I can relate. I know a particular overpass where the speed limit is 70 kmh, but I never drive that fast there because I know there's a fairly sharp curve at the top with a nasty bump in it. Some BMW overtook me just before the base of the incline at maybe 80 kph, and when I reached the top, I just saw the driver climb out of his totalled wreck on the other side of the road. He looked ok from a distance and the oncoming traffic had (just) managed to stop in time, so I chuckled to mystelf and drove on.
Thinking back later I guess I should have left my phone number or so, but at the time I was like "nope, not my problem".
@@zJoriz when that kind of things happens is delicious. When you are the local and some idiot that doesn't know your street does something very stupid and gets their car damaged
I grew up in an area with two 11’ 8” bridges. The local rock station would play “Another One Bites the Dust” whenever a truck got eaten.
@@IJustWantToUseMyName that sounds like an epic radio. I love that song
A lot of the 4 wheelers are dumber than the truck drivers!
"Overheight? Must turn? That must be for that other vehicle shorter than me. I'm good."
5 seconds later BANG!!!!!!
I wouldn't assume the driver was able to read any of the signs, more like, to read at all. Probably never finished elementary school either, if these things are really so difficult to them.
@@JonWylan the driver doesn't know the height of the truck he's driving more likely.
@@Songer80 yes...thats why theres a flashing sign saying that your truck is too high.
@@VoidplayLP To be fair, it doesn't specifically say YOU are overheight, it just says that "over high vehicle must turn". To someone not familiar with the bridge, that could just be a generic sign. I see the same kind of things all the time.
If I ever visit the US, it’s not the Golden Gate or Brooklyn bridges I want to see, it’s this one!
good choice
where is this bridge.. city... state?
There is no special about the bridge. It is only lower than some others.
The special are the drivers that ignore signs that warn them from a disaster. And that there is not only one such driver - no, there are many - too much for a civillized society.
But anyway - you need luck to see a crash. The camera watches the whole day...

The sign flapping in his face is extra humiliation. Poor guy.
Poor guy? The driver ignored ALL warnings, including a lit up sign tellin them to turn... not poor guy, they are a moron.
@zzz43452 Can Opener Da!
All i could think of was a family so excited to move in to their new home in a new town, when suddenly...
That was epic!! Hitting the sign too - can't fix stupid
@@Bahlzeron Poor moron.
I love how this is such a common experience that drivers simply drive around the wreck.
Lmao in another video it happened right as this one dude stopped at the intersection and after a few seconds just drove on through like "I didn't see that 😃"
Maybe so, but it is more that most people just don't care whatsoever. People suck.
Ah, the dumbass is fine. Gotta get my coffee before work
@@jbjacobs9514why care about idiots, this is natural selection at its best
It's just a damaged truck and no one got hurt so why should anyone interrupt their day for it potentially causing more problems? You're really soft and naive.@@jbjacobs9514
I drive trucks for a living, they ALL say how high the truck is on the inside front window. People just do not pay attention.
From my experience, most people don't look that far up...
I'm quite sure many of those tangling with that bridge didn't even notice the sign telling them to turn.
Most people just go about like they're driving their 2003 Ford Focus. Height never occurs to most people because they never have to worry about it until they drive something like this....which is almost never.
Most of these are rental trucks. The people driving them probably never driven anything bigger than a minivan
Most people are like deer they don't look up that's why you use a deer stand.Except that bridge is a truck's natural predator!!
Passed my HGV a couple of years ago and my biggest fear is hitting a low bridge, I always check I've even pulled up and converted the height on my phone if it's in Meters and the wagon's is in feet. I dont get how people do this.
The 11’ 8” sign even put up a fight.
And then he stopped to read it. And read it again. And again. And again. Each time hoping it would say something different and he hadn't just smashed into a bridge.
@Tucsoncoyote 501
A smarter truck driver might have considered letting a little air out of the tyres.
@Tucsoncoyote 501 They don't hit the bridge, they hit a beam in front of the bridge.
It slapped the shit out of his mirror.
another one bites the truck
Attacking the 11’8” sign was a nice touch. That’s some quality driving right there... 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
2:20 the sign was shaking in disappointment
Just a small revenge.
It really was icing on the cake.
I like how, after he finally freed himself, the giant yellow 11'8" sign is literally waggling back and forth right in front of his face.
Attention passengers: if you look ahead and just below you’ll see the famous 11ft 8 bridge has consumed another victim... enjoy!
The crash bar in front of the bridge did. ;)
Christopher U.S. Smith that’s like saying sex didn’t count because you wore a condom...
You have to read this out loud in your best airline pilot voice to fully appreciate the genius of this comment.
@@LawFarin If it actually hit the bridge, that's a rarity. ;)
Lucky people
The beauty of that 11'8" sign flapping back and forth after he scrapes it...
Between that, and the sign above continuing to light up when they're already stuck-that's a lot of salt being rubbed in that wound.
It is a work of art
..... there's ur sign.
it's funny he was probably wondering why there was no warnings until that sign hit him in the face.
And it perfectly goes back into position.
Like, Hello. 11' 8".
That 11'8" sign right in the driver's face, mocking him the entire time.
I love how after the dead stop created by ramming into an immovable object, the driver then tried accelerating forward again.
Stoppable force meets an immovable object
When renting a truck from Ryder in this area, surely every rental agreement starts with "Listen, let me tell you about this bridge...." at this point. Right? Apparently not....
13'6"
It is a rental truck. That is what the insurance is for....
They do tell people they also don't cover insurance if you try going under the bridge.
They do . They also point out that if/when they hit a bridge the insurance does NOT cover it.
The rental trucks have a notice of what the clearance is on the dashboard, too.
@@andrsmit Except the insuance does not cover hitting a bridge. (too many claims = not viable insurance rates) The folk that rent the trucks are warned THEY are personally responsible and have to pay for any damages to the truck caused by going under low clearances, be it an overpass, or drive-through at a fast "food" joint.
Even the train warned the truck 🤦🏻♂️
Have we ever seen a train actually go by when the bridge feasts? If so it has to be incredibly rare, I can't remember ever actually seeing it before.
@@Tukaro Yes we have. It's not the first time I've seen a train pass while a truck is being feasted upon.
@Tucsoncoyote 501 there is a bar in front of the bridge, so the truck hit that and got stuck, he didn't actually hit the bridge. (so the train going over had no effect) The bar protects the bridge so they don't have to inspect it every time like they would if the bridge got hit.
@Tucsoncoyote 501 They hit a metal beam which was made to protect the bridge, the bridge was not struck in this instance.
@Tucsoncoyote 501 you know even if that was happening, it doesn't matter how long the train is.
I like how the train sounds the horn when it crosses the bridge like, "We got another one!!" ;)
And me too!!
Yea nothing like a train coming through laughing at you while you're wrestling a bridge
It simply amazes me that this happens, especially since rental trucks have their clearance info posted to see in the drivers mirror.
Probably the drivers are not, or just barely qualified to be driving the truck in the first place. I suspect a good amount of these are caused by distracted driving. They are on their phone, messing with GPS ect. I feel sorry for them because of the financial hit and loss of a job, but it is very entertaining in a schadenfreude kind of 😊way.
I love how the sign just shakes in the drivers face... “do you see me now?!”

Mister Tree damn auto spell strikes again 🤣
Broke Lesnar!
“You’re in for a treat folks. On the right we have a real life view of the can opener feasting on another unaware rental box truck”

@@ShinyMooTank they state that any damage from the bridge THE DRIVER is liable for and has to pay. Low IQ? No problem you can have LOW MONEY the rest of your life trying to pay it back. And those trucks arent cheap.
@Tucsoncoyote 501 No it's not the train tracks that the trucks hit it's a big steel beam, so the train is not "compacting" the truck it just gets caught on the beam.
@@ShinyMooTank no i think the rental places there actual have a section about that specific damage since dumbasses do it way too often. Makes more sense to go around but i use my head and think about things.
@Amtrak
There are three things you can watch forever: fire burning, water falling and boxtruck wrestles with 11foot8 bridge..
These damn videos are addicting, not sure what makes them so damn funny, but I'm laughing at every lat one of them
2:21 when that 11'8" sign smacks his mirror and rights itself, its like a slap in the drivers face LOL
Those 11foot8 signs are built stronger than that truck.
This comment has 159 likes and not comments 😂 except mine
They have to be
Agreed. More common sense in the design than in the drivers.
This driver was in need of more training.
That cross beam with the yellow stripes looks like a steel I-beam mounted on concrete posts with slanted reinforcement beams. Yep, it'll either stop it or take the top and let whatever can pass beneath.
I liked that. No worse for wear. :)
I love the 11-8 sign wagging in front of the driver as he pulls back....PRICELESS
A poetic moment
😂
2.22 The clearance warning wobbling in front of his windshield, as if to say: You should have listened to me - priceless .)
Orange 11' - 8" swinging in your face after you back into it. Classic.
I think there needs to be another sign on the other side of the bridge that says "Tried to tell you, but noooooo ."
Well, they never reach the other side anyway ...
There are sensors, flashing yellow signs that warn drivers they won’t make it but they try anyway! This is the infamous “Can Opener” in Durham NC!
Need a sign with John's phone number.
Or a sign that shows the number of how many crashes this bridge had.
How bout a sign that says "You Dickhead!"
I like the way the 11'8" sign WAVES at him...
Poetry
Honestly, adding a simple "YOU ARE" to the Overheight must turn sign might wake some of these derps up. Most people have the bad habit of assuming these messages are not directed at them.
"Overheight trucks must turn huh, well duh!" ~ Famous last words of some of these people I'm sure.
Exactly. Especially the people driving rental trucks. Until that day, the sign always *was* for someone else.
I like how the school bus slid on by snickering "Too cool for school, tall boy."
It appeared the sign was flashing for the bus, too. For a moment I expected...
"Don't know, it was like that when I rented it"...
Mallet and Duct tape
Greatest excuse.
"Not my fault, that bridge just came out of nowhere"
As someone who worked for U-Haul once.... I've heard that excuse so many times!
should buff out.
Peeled the top. Laughed at by a train. Mocked by the sign. Not his day
The day he's "sued for damages" won't be any better....
Definitely a bad day....
loopshackr not sure you can damage an inch thick steel i beam bumper.
+Kansa City Shuffle +thegrandfinale2 Here’s a fun fact! 8 years ago, a truck hit the crash beam so hard, it BENT the crash beam and another one had to be put in. So these crash beams can be damaged, and the current one does not have 144 crashes under its belt. Here’s the video of the crash that bent the beam and the aftermath: ruclips.net/video/-9NusQdPYvY/видео.html
thegrandfinale2 Thanks!!
2:24 this is the time that he really saw the sign 11-8
I hear the train a-comin', it's rollin' round the bend, and I ain't seen the sunshine since... I don't know when. 'Cause I'm stuck in a can op'ner, and time keeps draggin' on, but that train keeps a-rollin, on down to Charleston...
I love how the can opener refuses to let go easily. I never tire of hearing the slow, sad beeping of a truck mangled by the opener. This one is particularly great in that you know the driver just sat there, contemplating how the hell they were going to explain this mess to Ryder when the brought the truck back.
The Reverse of Shame 😂
"There I was, in the middle of the open road, when a communist spy balloon swooped down and peeled off the front of the truck. I swerved to avoid a direct impact and that's why it looks like a road sign got dragged the whole way down the side of the truck."
"Whew, I'm glad I took out that insurance rider!"
Maybe he figured there's a Lowe's on the other side of this bridge, and I'll just touch it up with a rattle-can of Krylon...They'll never notice...But how do I get there from here?...
Nails the bridge, gets rumbled by a train then wings the sign. It's the trifecta of fail!
You forgot obstructed traffic and hit and run.
I woul like to see the explanation when it's returned .
Too bad he didn't get any drumbeats
Fancy seeing you here GTOger! :D
These videos have literally made me cry laughing multiple times. I don’t know what makes it so hilarious but it is!! 😂
It’s these people that drove nothing bigger than a Toyota Prius and think they can handle a full size truck with zero experience
The sign was like, "Why does the train bridge get all the action?"
and
"Oh no you did NOT just ignore me and think you're going to drive off with just some top shaved off! Here, some side action for you."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You know, the audio is the real star of these clips.
I was wondering about that, the sound is very good. I wonder how it is done. Outdoor microphones usually do not work very well being out in the elements.
When the train goes by it’s like BVBBVBBVVBBBBVVBBVVB
@@asparagoose8992 thank you for that description
@@qwerty13380 I'm pretty sure the audio is post-edited, much like GTOger's tow videos, because I'm almost certain these security cameras lack audio. Or, if they do, wind noise would make it very difficult to have come out clear.
Borderline looney toons sounds lol, But it sounds legit.
*In a hushed wildlife documentary narrator voice* And now we can observe the 11'-8" bridge eating it's usual diet of "box lunch".
lmao
The bridge can consume almost twice its body size😂 what kind of amators don't check their route to see if is any intersections with small bridges?
Of course that documentary voice should be infused with a noble British accent. 😜😁😃
😂
@@amandagreen1974 David Attenborough?
Everyone on the train : "Yep, it got another one"
1:50 sign flashes for an “over height” school bus and the driver goes straight through with no problems.
I bet the train engineer was laughing so hard
Normally the train engineer would not be happy if he knew he had just gone over a bridge that has just been hit by something. If a train controller is aware that a truck had hit a bridge he would stop all trains using the bridge until it had been checked out. Presumably this bridge has been suitably reinforced to prevent damage to the bridge by over-height trucks.
Sadly I doubt they saw it
@@netking66 I do agree. And if you see carefully, they hit the yellow bar, which is not structural part of the bridge and placed there to avoid contacts with the bridge, or at least to reduce them by destroying things that can hit it before they can
I think there is actually an overhead beam just before the actual bridge so they hit the beam instead of the bridge. Presumly they had to install that because of how often it happens lol.
@@redsquirrelftw That's exactly correct. Vehicles hit the bridge so often that they installed a steel girder to damage the trucks and prevent the need to close the bridge for each bridge strike. I bet the train drivers love this now, they'll always have a great view of any idiot who didn't pay attention to the signs.
The 11'8" sign just shakes it's head in front of him like 'I TRIED to warn you, but you wouldn't listen!'
Can we all just appreciate how thunderous every impact sound is? Props to the guy who captures these. So satisfrying.
There is no sound.
He makes them thats how good he is.
When he hit the street sign that was the icing on the cake.
I love the 11'8" sign jiggling in his face after he pulls back.
And I love your choice of the word "jiggling."
That sign should be planted in the drivers yard tonight.
Truck stuck under bridge + train going overhead simultaneously + 11-foot-8 sign getting trashed = perfection! Today was a great day for the bridge.
Trifecta
Fortunately they don't actually hit the bridge, there is a steel beam protecting the bridge...good thing.
I think this is my favorite one. The angry train yelling on its way by, the sign flopping around like "can you read???" All the idiots shamefully judging the driver. Perfect.
Yea...
Train:hey dumba....well shyte.
2:24 even the sign shakes it’s head at this!
The train horn blasted out just before the impact.
Huh imagine that ....
Driver to the Engineer: I see they're propping up the bridge again.
The engineer tried to warn him a hare too late
"Luckily nobody was hurt"
@@thetman0068 Yeah, but you know that driver's scrote turned into a walnut as soon as the scraping sound started!
engineer was blowing the horn for a railroad crossing
The 11'-8" sign even got a little action this time. :)
Just a little nibble on the side. :-)
That 11'8" sign:
Is That All You Got???
shaking it off
And now I’ve scrolled to where the first ever video of this channel has started. What have I been missing. This is great.
This is like the gift that keeps on giving.
This bridge and these videos continue to amaze me! As a retired truck driver of 34 years I can't recall a bridge with more warnings and flashing lights yet people continue to crash it! Thanks for posting, I am addicted. LOL!
I'll bet the name of the towing company is called, " 11' 8" ".
and just sits and waits for the next victim.
That sign should read..." go ahead....make my day..."
Or, do you feel lucky, punk? Do you?😂
Box truck did “Walk of Shame” exit right!
I think the proper term is the "beep of shame.
"As we leave Durham, you're in for a surprise ladies and gentlemen. If you look to the right, you'll see that the all-time famous 11foot8 bridge has claimed another victim."
I love how a train comes along at that moment so the engineer AND passengers can witness the driver’s humiliation
Can we not have a companion camera with audio at the rental truck sales counter for the hilarious turn in?! 😅
Yes
Driver at the rental company--"I had a little scrape on the truck"
Rental employee looking at the RUclips footage--"Yeah, we know"
Can you just imagine sitting in that truck, wondering if ya damaged the bridge, as a TRAIN ROLLS over your head.💩🤭😊
Amtrak Piedmont
Lol
@Bill j LMMFAO!😂🤣😅
Bulgy’s Bridge anyone?
It has a collision Protection beam slightly offset from the main structure, so the trucks hit that before hitting the structure of the bridge. In the UK I know these are now designed to break before they damage the abutments or piers of the bridge they attached to.
Meanwhile, back at the Ryder rental return desk...
"It's just a scratch. It was like that when I got it."
2:24 sign is shaking like: LOOK AT ME!!!
"And if you look to your right, you can see the bridge has been eating boxtrucks again."
"No worries... that should buff right out!"
I love how you hear the train horn just before impact, almost like the train was trying to warn the guy as well. Too bad for him it didn't work.
engineer was blowing the horn for a railroad crossing
@@ejdsndnj I'm aware of that; the timing just makes it seem like he was blowing his horn at the trucker.
Well it fitted under there real easy - I wonder how come it was so hard to get it back out! Love the way the driver gets the 11 foot eight sign to wave at him at 2.25 :-)
Man that Horn fits perfectly to the impact!
That was a thing of beauty, One could not time the train horn and satisfying crunch better!
LOL!!! Just LOL!!!
Between the train, the solid crunchy sound, the partial canopener, the Ryder truck, the Beep of Shame, the truck friggin' *pivoting* in place as he tries to get free, the 11'8" sign getting in on the action, and killing the transmission for ten minutes as he tries to wrestle himself free... is this the best one yet?
Beep of Shame. Awesome.
I imagine that train driver saying to himself, "Ah, another one! Here we go again! When will they learn!?!?"
As that signs flaps around as he backs out I just wanna go: "Hey! See that sign?... yeah... THAT one that flapping around in front of your face. Should've read it before, don't you think?"
Stupid people DO contribute to society- they’re the entertainment
Extra added bonus of the Amtrak train going over also! Perfect timing. Great job, driver!!!

the truck cruncher would'nt let go of that one. loved the way the sighn waggled about, as if to say "11FOOT8, SEE!, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TRIED TO GO UNDER IT, SEE!"🤣
The train Horn was like extra frosting on my cupcake!
It's like they know that the 11' 8" sign was going to be hit and spring loaded it. Planning for failure.
I really think drivers read the sign as, IF you're overheight you must turn. And since they all don't think they are overheight, we have this channel.
I love how that clown in the dark grey hatchback at the end could SEE the box truck trying to make a turn into the street, but he STILL darted across the intersection then had the nerve to honk at the box truck, as if the car ever had enough room to get across anyway...
The timing of the train horn and the truck plowing into the crash bar was epic!
That first sound of the train horn was perfect timing.
2:20 - What I love most about all this is that as soon as he withdrew enough to free himself from the embrace of the sign, he took a moment to look at it in silence and think: This sign has always been standing here?
I love the way the passing motorists have absolutely no mercy on these people.
This bridge and a certain parking lot in Deep Ellum, TX are two places in my Bucket List to visit. :D
GTOGER Yup.
I just looked up that parking lot. Great stuff, lol
It's so funny how they make the "No parking" signs invisible when they're parking, but the most visible objects things in the universe after getting towed
What’s this parking lot you speak of?
@@boydmanuel9257 search gtoger on youtube. Most entertainment you can have watching illegally parked cars get towed and the owner's reactions when the see their car is gone.
Here in the Netherlands we hang big metal bell things before low bridge accident hotspots. Makes a huge noise and avoids damage
You Dutch people stop bragging about how smart and inventive you are!
I bet you have no funny videos of that though.
@@andyg256 nope.
But then we wouldn't have this entertaining youtube channel.
We have those here, in Australia, as well.
The train adding insult to injury by that horn honking multiple times: "Haha, i'm free, you''re stuck!!" xD
sometimes when I'm feelin' kinda down......I watch this and it cheers me up..........thanks 11foot8....
I always love how completely impatient other drivers in this area are, that they can't wait and give the stuck driver room to back up and turn.
So what do you do in Norway: Watching small videos of trucks hitting a bridge somewhere in the US. And enjoying it...
Same thing here in Germany. 🍻
I am enjoying it from 30 some miles away! LOL!
I'm pretty sure the schadenfreude of this is international
I am enjoying it from less than a mile away!
I live around 10-15 minutes away from this
That back-up beeper, clearly audible for 1/4-mile in every direction, even when the truck is stationary, is very important. For safety.
Think of the lives that would be lost if people on the 2nd or 3rd floors of these nearby - buildings didn't know a truck might or might not be backing up 15 feet.
Dozens would surely have been killed had they not heard the beeping of the stationary truck! Thank heaven for beepers!
Got to love how no one even stops to see if he's okay in the very first one
I think I should open a box truck roof repair company in Durham NC. I bet there might be a market for it.
steve bennett You’d want to open on the street to the right. That seems to be the way out for most victims.
And paint an ad for your shop right on the bridge.
yeah open the shop behind the bridge... :-D ;-)
@@onetirefire1 If you make it to here you'll get 15% off, and a discount too. :)
Tucsoncoyote 501: I wonder if the big rental companies even bother getting them repaired? Vehicle off the road for weeks losing them rental income, and then a vehicle back which has had to undergo substantial repairs. The customers probably usually paying (at least here in the UK you’re not covered for damage above cab height by the rental insurance) so maybe they sell on for scrap/repair, and get a new one.
Although quite how they pay I’m not sure.... So am using as it is to watch, I do somewhat pity the poor drivers really as there in for quite a bill. But again if like in the UK you are always warned very clearly about such things on pickup and have to sign to confirm you understand, and we have a LOT more low bridges here.
Reminds me of my friends car rental when he was told there was a £100 surcharge if it was brought back with the tank empty, but he could take the unlimited collision damage waiver for £25 and wouldn’t owe a penny if he totalled the vehicle. To which his replay was, “So it’s cheaper for me to dump it in the river than bring it back empty?”. The rental agent replied “Yes”!
Who needs IQ tests when you have this bridge to do it for you
Ryder is going to be happy to get their truck back!! 😂😂
2:23 “WHAT DID I TELL YOU?!?”
**shakes diamond-faced head**
The 11' 8' sign was shaking its head when the truck was backing up.
I just noticed this, dude I’m crying 😂😂👌🏻
It was like: "Pfff, not again!"
