Indiana Road Closed After Truck Becomes Stuck in Tunnel

According to the Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Office, a road on the north side of the county has been closed after a truck got stuck passing through the tunnel of a railroad overpass.

Too Tall To Fit

It appears, based on the photo shared by the Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Office via Twitter, that the offending vehicle, which appears to be a box truck of some sort, was too tall to allow adequate clearance to make its way through the bridge overpass tunnel located on Mohr Road. This has forced the Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Office to close Mohr Road for the time being.

Not the First Time

This is not the first time that a truck or large vehicle has gotten lodged in this particular train overpass tunnel. Back in 2020, a truck carrying, of all things, chocolate milk, got stuck when the driver of it too misjudged the vehicle's ability to clear the height of the overpass, according to Evansville's Courier & Press.
