(La Porte County, IN) - A box truck slammed into the face of bridge near Michigan City on Friday, and the driver has been issued six citations.
According to La Porte County Police were one of the agencies that responded at about 5:30 a.m. to a bridge at U.S. 20 and Interstate 94. According to reports, the aluminum roof of the box truck and cab were peeled back from contact with the bottom of the bridge, which left metal debris from the truck all over the road.
The crash resulted in collisions involving three other vehicles, but no injuries were reported.
The box truck driver told investigators his GPS indicated the bridge was 16 feet high and insisted he was within clearance for his load. However, police said the truck was oversized for the bridge, which sustained gouging and paint loss from the impact.
