Remarks: A truck has once again managed to wedge itself under the Springfield Avenue underpass, which usually happens several times a month. This one is worse than most, though, with the trucker managing to make it under both of the overhead bridges and completely stripping off the top of the trailer.

This happens several times a month? You've got to be kidding! Idiots

That sort of thing happens in Aurora too! Most of the trucks get stuck under the CB&Q viaduct on S. Broadway.

Yeah, the bridge is part of U.S. Rt. 45, which for the most part, is nothing but farm fields for 100 miles in either direction. This one happened at about 4:50 A.M., and I'm guessing that most happen like this, when it's dark out and they're cruising along and don't worry much about clearances. It's a fairly regular occurence.
