Range Rovers destroyed as truck hits low bridge

IF YOU reckon you’re having a bad day at work, think again.

A truck driver has slammed the top tier of their car transporter into the underside of a railway bridge in Perth, Scotland, and, in doing so, ripped the roofs off three Range Rovers and a Jaguar F Pace. Ouch.

According to the The Courier, the accident – said to cause tens of thousands of pounds worth of damage – forced train and road traffic to a standstill. Two of the vehicles have since been written off.

The Courier also reports that this bridge “has been struck by heavy-good vehicles several times in recent years”, which reminds us of a little bridge closer to home in Southbank, Victoria. The Montague Street Bridge is notorious for claiming the topside of trucks and vans, and there’s even a website set up with a counter for the number of days since the bridge has been hit – check it out here: howmanydayssincemontaguestreetbridgehasbeenhit.com

So the next time your computer freezes or there’s no coffee in the kitchen, think about the poor sod from Scotland. They’re going to have a fun time explaining this one to their boss…
