I don't remember any really low bridges in Flathead County, Montana, so they likely had no experience with such a thing.
There IS, however, one right here in Billings, that goes under the railroad tracks downtown. IIRC, it is 8 feet high. It used to grab a tall vehicle fairly often, even took a 9 foot cabover camper off a truck once. Nobody has tried to go under it in several years with a tall vehicle. HMMMM... Used to be one or two a year, now none. Interesting.
Sorry this happened to the folks from Somers. Hopefully, people will learn from it: KNOW how high your rig is, and be aware that not all bridges/underpasses have 14 feet clearance! Yes, most do, but some do not. Pay attention!
