Schroedinger's rental truck

Rental truck stuck but not stuck

Can a truck truly be storrowed if its roof isn't peeled back even if it's clearly under a Storrow Drive bridge? A roving UHub photographer came upon this river-road manifestation of Schroedinger's Cat today at the Mass. Ave. exit, where a truck whose driver has obviously managed to get partway under the bridge around 4:20 p.m. shows no obvious signs of roof damage.

The photographer reports they were backing the truck up when he arrived on scene. The presence of somebody near the truck's right front tire suggests maybe they tried the old trick of letting some air out of the tires first, but still, that roof looks pretty pristine, no? Or is Penske now renting out Storrow special-edition trucks that are just a few inches shorter than usual?

If you can't lower the road, lower the truck.

Deflating the tires won’t help as it’s the top of the truck that will get stuck, not the bottom*.

* I learned that bit if wisdom some 40 years ago from a more elaborate joke that French people used to make about Belgian people. The Belgians have their own sayings about how smart French people think they are.
