Storrowed truck at Bowker Overpass

Ric Duarte was among commuters who had plenty of time this morning to consider the impressive sardine-canning of a truck whose driver learned the Bowker Overpass is not meant for his ilk.

Antoinette Antonio reports the box truck is wedged in nice and tight, so it's going to take some work to get it out.

State Police report the driver suffered minor injuries.

Scott Tetreault has another view.

Bostinno reports it was a furniture delivery guy "just following his GPS." If only he'd looked up to see the clearance signs.

I'm wondering if he's going to blame that next.

Not like Montreal doesn't have its own "Le Storrowing" problems. In fact, there were warnings about a stuck truck being announced on the LED message screens when I came through there a couple weeks ago!

That truck is holding up the overpass, they can't remove it now!
