Measurement is everything, especially when your 13 ft 6 inch truck is carrying bathtubs, toilets and plumbing fixtures through a 13 foot tall tunnel. I guess the contents of the truck aren’t really relevant in this case. But then a few angry New Yorkers won’t be taking a crap anytime soon since this driver disobeyed flashing lights, sirens and loudspeakers to not enter the tunnel.
As a result, the truck’s roof was peeled back like a tuna can. The safety director of U.S.A. Logistics Carriers, Mr. Cantu’s employer, said “it was just a bad call” by Mr. Cantu. “He misjudged the height of the tunnel, and once he was inside it he didn’t realize the damage he was doing.” Wouldn’t half the roof being peeled back be enough to cause concern to this man?
