Bankhead Tunnel closed because of 18-wheeler - Breaking News from the Press-Register - al.com
Yeah, I was stuck for a short while because of this (you can see the truck - with its trailer wedged under the entrance to the tunnel - image from NBC15 Online in Mobile - notice how far to the left of center the truck is; now, did you notice THERE'S A TUNNEL IN THE LANE AHEAD OF THE TRUCK? apparently the driver didn't...). Guess I should have taken the other tunnel, eh? I'd tried to take a picture for your viewing pleasure, but I'd managed to fill my phone's memory recently and didn't have time to clear it out while driving by the truck.
The guy was stuck with several feet of the trailer crushed under the tunnel roof; he was also to the left of the centerline, making it not so easy to get by. What I want to know is how did he miss all the signs that said, "No Trucks In Tunnel" and "Trucks must use alternate route." And beyond that, how could he miss the TUNNEL IN FRONT OF HIM...?!?!?!
Anyway...
