The trailer of this truck over in Long Island, New York, was absolutely destroyed after the driver attempted to drive under a low overpass.

The video was recorded on Long Island, New York, earlier this week and it shows why, as a trucker, it pays to pre-plan your routes.

According to the video’s uploader, nma419, trucks in Long Island are not supposed to drive on the parkways, due to low overpasses.

Here’s more of what nma419 had to say on YouTube: “Earlier today, as I was driving, I saw a tractor trailer driving down the parkway in the right lane. I knew that something was about to happen, and I immediately started recording. Soon after I started recording, the truck struck an overpass, and was obliterated. I pulled over to make sure the driver was okay. He was fine, but clearly upset.”
