Uh, Surely there are there regulations on the clearances required to transport stuff like that? Somebody fricked up severely.

Or disconnect the trailer and drag it from under the bridge. Did he not have an escort, looks tall?

This will probably shut down I-10 knowing Baton Rouge's luck.

There are height restrictions that were apparently ignored.

The truck owner's insurance if they didn't follow their permits.

An overpass was actually knocked down in Oklahoma City last year when this happened. Lucky no one was on it at the time.

He was traveling at night when there are less cops out, I doubt he was legal

We used to have a overhead pole outside of our facility that hung at max height. We took it down bc so many outside haulers would hit it. It's scary how many haulers don't give a frick about the laws and or too cheap to get permit loads.
