HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- There are two things that shut down the viaducts in Huntington -- heavy rain and trucks that get stuck.
Monday, it was a truck's turn.
A Fed Ex truck ripped apart after it got jammed under the 20th Street viaduct.
It happened around 3:30 p.m. creating a rush hour headache.
The tractor was marked as being 13 feet, 6 inches tall, while the viaduct features a sign showing it is 11 feet, 4 inches tall.

This seems to happen on a monthly basis. Yes there is a rusty old sign, but it's not very obvious. Why not just put in an easier-to-see sign? Continuing to ridicule the poor truckers will not prevent future accidents, but a new sign might.

You'd think the he would have known that a tall truck and a low bridge don't exactly mix. Hilarious!
