Haven't heard if police are now charging drivers with running a red light to hit the bridge..
11'8" is (figuratively) in my back yard... Durham, NC is about 18 miles from where I live..

Every so often 11foot8 sells artwork - pieces of metal recovered from the scene that have been turned into decorative curls.
I think may favorites are the A/C units on R/Vs ("It's OK honey, the roof is 11 foot5.") and delivery trucks that leave a curlicue of aluminum behind.
The bridge has a nasty sibling that's a bit shorter I think. There's a video of it claiming a truck full of lobsters, setting it ablaze. Here it is -
East Street Railroad Bridge. Truck with several tons of lobsters. 10'4" Bridge.

Pay attention to the narrowing of the road, while retaining the sidewalk. There are other videos of drivers hitting the sidewalk and deflecting head-on into traffic coming the other way.
Even fire-fighters aren't immune https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMg5HiLHHt0

What I find interesting and sad is that 6 vehicles were at the seen and nobody checked on the driver. You don't even see any movement from him until about 3 minutes after the accident.

What's fascinating is the differences in damage for the same type Penske or Ryder truck. I guess the heavily laden ones ride lower and sometimes only scrape paint and rivet heads off the top, others do a perfect zippering of the top, while unloaded others get really gouged.
