Truck Driver Forgets What Type of Trailer He's Hauling, Strikes Delaware Overpass

A truck driver used to driving a flatbed trailer forgot what he was hauling Wednesday morning causing traffic troubles in Delaware.

The big-rig got stuck under a railroad overpass along N Chapel Street in Newark Delaware before 9 a.m.

The driver told NBC10 he normally drives a flatbed and didn’t realize his trailer – filled with pallets – wouldn’t clear the 12-foot height until it was too late.

The force of impact caused the top of the trailer to be torn back and caused Chapel Street to be closed between E Main and E Cleveland streets for some time.

Luckily, no one was hurt.
