Pic: A truck driver tried to pass under a low bridge in Portarlington this morning. They shouldn’t have

Those height warnings are there for a reason pal.

Some of us are just about able to drive a car so we can only imagine how tough it is to drive a truck, but truck drivers are as prone to mistakes behind the wheel as the rest of us.

One truck driver tried to pass under a bridge in Portarlington in Laois this morning having obviously not seen or heeded the height warnings before attempting to drive through.

Unfortunately, this is what happened as a result…

We wouldn't like to be around when the boss sees or hears about this one.

Hat-tip to Richard and Jack Garry for sending this one our way
