Lays truck hits the 8ft clearance Loveland bridge.

8’ is an incredibly low bridge. I can’t imagine the lack of awareness it takes to drive a boxtruck into that.

[u/Osmodius → u/YellowThirteen_]

I'd be uncomfortable driving my car under that.

[u/MDanger → u/Osmodius]

You know 90% of people have gotta be ducking as a natural reflex driving under that…bet that driver did, and BOOM

[u/CyberSoldat21 → u/MDanger]

Truck driver definitely said “fuck it, we ball” here.

[u/DNSGeek → u/Osmodius]

I'm not 100% sure my GL450 would fit under that. It would be close.

[u/LifeworksGames → u/DNSGeek]

According to the internet, that car is 6’1’’ high. So unless it’s modified….

[u/mgrimshaw8 → u/DNSGeek]

…do you not know what 8 feet looks like?

[u/Liquor_N_Whorez → u/YellowThirteen_]

Staring at their cellphone is more important than looking at the road bud.

[u/WeldinMike27 → u/Liquor_N_Whorez]

Im not your bud, guy.

[u/Liquor_N_Whorez → u/WeldinMike27]

You been into the grilled cheese again aint ya Bill?

[u/aitorbk → u/Liquor_N_Whorez]

Are you sure, mate?

[u/tarheelz1995 → u/WeldinMike27]

I’m not your guy, dude.

[u/Riptide360 → u/YellowThirteen_]

How is it even allowed to be a road? Should be a bike path! Even then a tall person on a bike probably clears 7’.

[u/YellowThirteen_ → u/Riptide360]

It’s not like it’s unable to function as a road, it’s tall enough for cars, suv’s, and factory height pickups to fit under. This road simply can’t support commercial vehicles. The responsibility is on drivers to not be complete dipshits.

[u/Riptide360 → u/YellowThirteen_]

Found one even shorter at 7 feet! https://www.reddit.com/r/waze/s/6O1hptU7AF

[u/funnystuff79 → u/Riptide360]

You'd be surprised, London built a motorway across a Trainline and now the trains can't pass

[u/phormix → u/YellowThirteen_]

Yeah that one isn't even close to clearing either

[u/DistanceMachine → u/YellowThirteen_]

I bike by their often and even I feel the need to duck

[u/Efficient-Internal-8 → u/YellowThirteen_]

Pringles truck would have been able to make it.

[u/Nailing_Captains_Mom]

Imagine that crunching sound.

[u/MalignantLugnut → u/Nailing_Captains_Mom]

I wouldn't worry, it's 80% air.

[u/cybe2028 → u/MalignantLugnut]

The air protects the cargo

[u/darthcaedusiiii → u/cybe2028]

It's meant to Pringle around the driver.

[u/ddddan11111 → u/MalignantLugnut]

Sold by weight 🙄

[u/DrPooMD → u/Nailing_Captains_Mom]

Just like biting into a fresh Lays chip!

[u/STFUisright → u/DrPooMD]

Bet you can’t smash just one!

[u/nygrl811 → u/Nailing_Captains_Mom]

It's got ridges now!

[u/Chainheart85]

I've driven under this bridge in a Civic and got worried I would hit it. How you slam a box truck into it I'll never understand.

[u/IndustriousLabRat]

That bridge has some serious can opening and peeling potential. Thing is built like a mandoline.

[u/TFK_001 → u/IndustriousLabRat]

Can opening in the wild is a product of awareness and height. If a bridge is too low, it should be obvious your truck won't fit. Im impressed this bridge ever even got a truck

[u/[deleted]]

Just because there's 50% air in the bag, doesnt mean the bag isnt still large.

[u/AnActualSquirrel]

not even close

[u/7of69]

Crunch all you want, we’ll make more.

[u/beejers30]

Betcha can’t crash just one!

[u/Elorfindray]

Dang, even the delivery trucks are only half full.

[u/nokiacrusher]

8 feet? How is this even a legal road

[u/kneejerk2022]

pre crushed

[u/daveinsf]

I can barely stand up in this thing, no way it's taller than 8 feet...

[u/somekindagibberish]

There's no such thing as bad publicity.

[u/ReadontheCrapper]

That delivery is going to be Lay’st

[u/TheDudeWhoCanDoIt]

Where’s the Dr Pepper truck when you need it ?

[u/Allemaengel]

I'm from PA, the home of snack foods. Glad I like Utz kettle chips so my supply won't be delayed by this incident, lol.

[u/Klevermind-]

Does the employee lose his job or do they dock his check?

[u/cybe2028 → u/Klevermind-]

Good chance they get fired. An operator should know their vehicles specifications.

This is a major oversight and error in judgment. It happens, but it is what it is.

Insurance will cover the damage, they likely wouldn’t be expected to pay.

[u/Klevermind- → u/cybe2028]

Thank you for the info. 🫡

[u/WeldinMike27]

They used to be called Thins in Australia. Their catch phrase was "not as thick as some." Clearly, that has not come home to roost.

[u/STFUisright → u/WeldinMike27]

That’s funny. Also that’s a terrible slogan.

[u/WeldinMike27 → u/STFUisright]

Not as good as some

[u/Hot_Frosty0807]

I haven't worked for Frito in over 10 years, and I still remember that those Sprinter trucks are 10' 6" tall.

[u/BuzzTheGOATCalkins]

A perfect truck to feed the bridge.

[u/5meoWarlock]

Probably thought he could get the truck through just chipping it.

[u/ThisDadisFoReal]

Once you pop, you can’t stop

[u/PoliteCanadian2]

Good fun!

[u/bohusblahut]

Can’t stop crashin’ ‘em…

[u/Mikeezeduzit]

Lays….Its all about the crunch

[u/bootnab]

Loveland? Wasn't there a frog or something there?

[u/wattspower]

That wasn’t even close

[u/wattspower]

It’s ok. It’s all just air at the top anyway

[u/Fender_Stratoblaster]

That wasn't even close.

[u/slide2k]

The paint is definitely CHIPped

[u/Realistic_Mix3652]

That crazy low. If I was riding my mountain bike I would probably have to duck going under that bridge.

[u/AJPennypacker39]

Can't crunch just one!

[u/GhostieSpook]

It's okay. There's still 60% air left before it reaches the chips.

[u/LucianoWombato]

Thank god the truck was only 30% filled, so nothing bad happened!

[u/Mercury_Madulller]

Not even close.

[u/STFUisright]

Finally I will use my most hated phrase on Reddit:

And it’s not even close!
