Titanium Cranium came upon this Downtown Crossing scene around 5 p.m. She reports that the driver was finally able to extricate himself and his truck, with a 30-degree turn.

Nice to see
that Markk finally got his CDL.

I can see how this would happen.
Franklin Street is an important street downtown. But it gets narrower and narrower as it doesn't meet any other wide streets. And then you're forced to turn here: https://goo.gl/maps/vQDtVzE9p3y
Choose left, and you end up at Hawley and Summer, where the truck got stuck.
Choosing right sends you here: https://goo.gl/maps/6nCZc2QwxtS2 , but at least you end up at Milk Street where the turn is a little bit easier.
Of course it would be too easy for the BTD to give any hints, like putting a sign up at Franklin and Hawley (or further back on Franklin) suggesting a good route for large trucks.
