On May 22, a rental truck got stuck under the canopener. Watch the video to find out if they will make it back out or not. This was crash #183 since 2008.
Normally the "overheight" sign is working too, but either the sun bleached it or it wasn't working this day cause I checked and it wasn't on. Driver was still an idiot though.
@@ShepardKammanderis there another sign other than the "OVERHEIGHT MUST TURN" between the traffic lights in the video? Cuz that one is on in the video.
@@giin97 Some time ago I went on a Google Street view tour of the road leading up to the peeler. There are multiple signs for two blocks ahead, the bridge/scraper is marked with TWO height signs and the scraper is highway yellow.
im dumb. so is the sign saying the bridge is 12'8" when its really 11'8"? in which case the person might have thought they could fit i am confused and dumb EDIT: i understand now! I saw that the bridge USED to be 11'8 but they raised it to 12'8 for extra clearance.. and yet I knew about this bridge but its been a looooooong time haha

Truck manufacturers clearly got wise to the changed height of the bridge, and started selling taller trucks to the rental companies, in the knowledge that there would be repeat sales down the line.
The sudden high amount of crashes recently reminds me of how we all joked that the rentals will just make their trucks taller after the bridge has been raised. Looks like they finally did it! 🤣🤣🤣
If only the bridge had it's own channel with a camera facing down on the aftermath. "Hey everyone, it's ol' Bridgey, Bridget Peeler here and welcome back.

If by this point Ryder doesn't make you sign a full page disclaimer that only states "I WILL NOT DRIVE UNDER THE BRIDGE ON SOUTH GREGSON ST!", they're getting kickbacks on insurance.
Nothing seems to stop people from driving rental trucks under that bridge. The only possible thing I can thing of is putting in a crossing arm/gate in front of the underpass for overheight vehicles, but even then people would probably drive through it.
@@adamr4344 I wasn't thinking about that, but I agree, both psychologically and physiologically, in ways that will only be truly discovered in the coming decades.
There was one years ago, before it got raised, where a box truck got stuck. As it sat there, a train went overhead, as if to make it stay down. I want to find that clip again 😂

I never get tired of these videos or the sound of the can opener at work! We have multiple 11' 8" railroad crossing bridges here where I live. They get the occasional truck stuck under them but not as much action as this infamous bridge got before it was raised.
That sentence could be straight out of Last Week Tonight! Now I REALLY want John Oliver to see this! He could fit it in an episode about bridges or something... 😂
Between the holy combo of rental truck peel, pedestrian, and train, this may be one of my favorite bridge feedings now. Thank you as always for your diligent work!
I’ve been a subscriber for a lot years and this never gets old! I used to drive a high cube/box truck 🚚 and and am amazed how many drivers are still victims of the Can Opener bridge.
I believe the light turns yellow then red when an over-height vehicle is detected. It is a last ditch attempt to get the driver to read the warning sign. That is what I recollect, anyway.
There is a system that turns the light red when an overheight truck is detected, but all that does is make the drivers who are determined to trim off their rental truck speed up to make the yellow light
"Will this rental truck escape the 11foot8+8 bridge?" seeing that was the title of a 47 second video on this channel, I picked no. And wasn't disappointed.
Every time I think the bridge's days of tyranny are over, this channel shows me that someone else has found a truck that is over instead... This time I actually thought they were going to slow down and stop
looks like the driver was trying to but trucks don't stop on a dime and if you try you will throw whatever is loaded into the front end of the trailer and the trailer paneling will likely rupture and all the shit will spill out because it can't stop all the weight in the trailer that fast. the yellow light should be coming on WAY further down the road. the moment the light turned yellow it was ~3 seconds before the truck came into view and the light was red and that isn't enough time to stop a truck. the stopping distance for a normal car is 110 feet at 30 mph, trucks/ trailer trucks take roughly 40% longer to stop then a normal car. with 3 seconds of time from yellow to truck being in view (in the intersection) and assuming a speed of 30 mph, that's a distance of just 132 feet that the yellow light triggers on. this is enough for a car, it is not enough for a truck. a truck with a load would require 154 feet. you can see in this very video that had the driver had 20 extra feet, they would of stopped in time. the point at which the light changes for over height vehicles needs to be much further back, at least 50 feet more then it currently is. this doesn't even account for rain/snow either, so that light change to make a SAFE stop needs to be like 100 feet further then it currently is.
@@rocksfire4390 That'd explain my confusion. When I watched it, it looked like the driver _wanted_ to stop but then changed their mind. Now I know they just couldn't. Given that background, I'd agree they might benefit from having the light further ahead than it is, so the bridge only slays those with hubris.
Man this was perfect, just perfect. How he stopped just at the end. Then finished with a Can Opener. Finally just driving off like it didn't even happen. Best ASMR ever. 🤣
@@patrickspendrin3107 correct. the sign only went off AFTER the truck was already well past the bridge. you can see it trigger in the last few seconds of the video. This truly was a contributory incident. to be sure, the primary responsibility is still on the driver to know whether or not they can make it under the bridge... but that warning sign sure was not working as intended either.
I'm so excited that I'm going to visit this bridge in just a couple days! First time ever in this part of the country, so of course for me this is perhaps the biggest tourist attraction
Is it wrong to laugh heartily at someone else's misfortune? I mean, there's PLENTY of warnings. I derive so much joy from these videos. Love the train. It's the icing on the cake. Love, A Huge Fan
A rule of thumb I have is help those who want to be helped, you could repurpose it to respect those that respect themselves... over trying to ride a huge truck under a tiny bridge. They must know that this kind of damage is absolutely not covered by insurance, right?
I think as long as no one gets hurt too badly. These guys received plenty of warnings and it is pretty ridiculous so yeah I'd say you are ok to laugh at this.
You knew it wouldn't fit, you had evidence it didn't fit, you clearly stop to think about it and instead of backing up to minimize further damage...you went ahead anyway. Thank you. Thank you for doing that. 👏👏👏
Apparently the counter guys at the rental truck agency aren't calling out the "if you hit this bridge, you pay for all the damage" clause on the rental agreement anymore.
This way they always have an inventory of new trucks, or at least the trailer. The insurance company and truck dealer are also happy: it's a win-win-win!
OMG, a hat-trick in three weeks. Not quite all in May but nearly. And a train! Nice peel, too! Van says: "the nasty train pushed the bridge on top of me!"
The bridge is back with a vengeance! One of the best ones that had about everything. A pedestrian running in fear and the suspense if the truck can escape the grip of the bridge before the train crosses. I watched it four times and it keeps giving me a belly laugh each time.
On top of everything said in other comments, it has a beautiful cinematic atmosphere straight out of the seventies… train, sounds, accident… only in colours. What a treat!

This truly was a contributory incident. to be sure, the primary responsibility is still on the driver to know whether or not they can make it under the bridge... but that warning sign sure was not working as intended either.
@@thomasneal9291 The sign was on the entire time, though? There's no difference between before and after the crash.
@@jedimasterpickle3 it started flashing in the last second of the video. But nevertheless, it was perfectly visible the whole time before.
"Oh, that? The top you say? Oh, it was like that when I rented it from you guys this morning!"
Legend has it that trucks that don't run the red light are granted safe passage
😂😂😂
I'm so excited that I'm going to visit this bridge in just a couple days! First time ever in this part of the country, so of course for me this is perhaps the biggest tourist attraction
Train??!! Oh boy! THIS is one for the archives. Lovely capture and timing.
This is so amazing!!
Thanks to Ryder truck rentals for the renting to some of America’s best truck drivers!!
YES!!👍🏻‼️‼️
I have been tuned to this channel for years, and its still fun to watch
Same! I got one of this channel's videos in my recommended in October 2020, and I haven't stopped watching since.
Is it wrong to laugh heartily at someone else's misfortune? I mean, there's PLENTY of warnings. I derive so much joy from these videos. Love the train. It's the icing on the cake.
Love,
A Huge Fan
At some point it goes from misfortune to stupidity.
It's wrong in all the best ways!!
A rule of thumb I have is help those who want to be helped, you could repurpose it to respect those that respect themselves... over trying to ride a huge truck under a tiny bridge.
They must know that this kind of damage is absolutely not covered by insurance, right?
I think as long as no one gets hurt too badly. These guys received plenty of warnings and it is pretty ridiculous so yeah I'd say you are ok to laugh at this.
Not if it's that stupid and well deserved, no!
Whoever drives those trucks must have a secret deal with a local repair shop 😂
You knew it wouldn't fit, you had evidence it didn't fit, you clearly stop to think about it and instead of backing up to minimize further damage...you went ahead anyway. Thank you. Thank you for doing that. 👏👏👏
Best channel on all of TH-cam. The internet was created for this very thing.
Wow, all the box trucks at this Ryder look brand new! Business must be doing great!
That train at the end was like the Roadrunner with the final insult after Wile E Coyote smashed himself again. Meep Meep!
No need for a slo-mo replay, either. Beautiful.👌
YES ! ! ! Thanks ! ! !
Apparently the counter guys at the rental truck agency aren't calling out the "if you hit this bridge, you pay for all the damage" clause on the rental agreement anymore.
Rumor has it that they celebrate with cake when a truck comes back without having gone cabriolet. Lean'n'slim, them Penske folks..
This way they always have an inventory of new trucks, or at least the trailer.
The insurance company and truck dealer are also happy: it's a win-win-win!
They probably have this channels entire playlist on a constant loop in the office to show the renters what NOT TO DO! And yet they still do it.
A beautiful work of art with the perfect train timing and everything.
And THAT, children, is how you make a convertible.
Well they converted the box body to scrap metal I guess
It's how you convert a box truck into a gondola!
😂
This is Glorious!
Bridge : let's add 8" for security
Industry : YAY! we can make bigger trucks
The way the frame around the door falls off and then that piece of metal falls down is like icing on a cake.
It was good but I like the ones where it looks like someone dropped an open box of matchsticks.
OMG, a hat-trick in three weeks. Not quite all in May but nearly. And a train! Nice peel, too!
Van says: "the nasty train pushed the bridge on top of me!"
The bridge is back with a vengeance! One of the best ones that had about everything. A pedestrian running in fear and the suspense if the truck can escape the grip of the bridge before the train crosses. I watched it four times and it keeps giving me a belly laugh each time.
This was the best video of this bridge I've seen yet. amazing.
my favorite unboxing channel
It makes my heart so happy that the bridge is back to it's regular diet again! "Get in mah belly!"
Another day another rental truck smashing into the bridge 😌
I feel everyone in this comment section could meet for a beer and it'd just be a universally good time
There’s a bar less than a block from this intersection.
It's one of the funniest comment sections I've ever seen
On top of everything said in other comments, it has a beautiful cinematic atmosphere straight out of the seventies… train, sounds, accident… only in colours. What a treat!
