“This was a good one,’’ Westwood police Lieutenant Leo Hoban told The Boston Globe.
Trucks run into the East Street Bridge so often that Hoban has a folder on his computer full of crash videos. He only posts the best ones to Youtube.
“You can make it under if you go fast enough, but some instances you leave your roof behind, and other instances you leave your entire box behind,’’ Hoban told the Globe.
The Westwood police department might have the best videos, but Westwood certainly doesn’t have the only dangerously low bridges in the area. Here are a few underpasses to avoid in Boston if you’re in a moving truck.
