If they had a height indicator hanging at the entrances to the parkway, this never would have happened. For those of you who do not know, there are sections of the NJ Parkways that you can drive on with commercial over height vehicles. The driver should have reviewed his route however to many people dumb down and buy any GPS and believe that i will guide them to there destination...
Just coming home from the south on the Brooklyn Queens Expressway, which is the only commercial route from the south into Long Island, we were behind a car carrier who switched into the left lane at the Brooklyn Promenade as he couldn't fit under. The sign said 12'9". We were next to him in middle lane. We came upon an over pass and he stopped before driving into it, stuck in the left lane, a professional driver.
The fault lies with both New York State for not properly adding signage as well as the driver for not pre-planning his route.
