By some odd coincidence, an idiot with no idea how to drive a tanker, has managed to jam one under an interstate bridge in Evansville, Ind.

Tanker truck stuck under Evansville overpass

EVANSVILLE, Ind. -- A Mack truck hauling a 10-foot diameter oil tank became stuck beneath a highway overpass today, forcing the rerouting of morning rush-hour traffic.

The top of the oil tank became stuck under the Interstate 64 overpass about 7:30 a.m. as the truck was traveling on U.S. 41. Police removed the truck two hours later, but lanes of traffic remained closed for hours as the bridge was inspected for damage.

The truck driver, Jerre Hout, 62, of Noble, Ill., was cited for not having proper registration and for operating an oversize vehicle, said Sgt. Todd Ringle of Indiana State Police. He also received five other citations, Ringle said.

The truck was impounded by authorities, he said.

Doesn't sound like a true tanker, more like a flatbed trailer hauling a 10' diameter tank. At 14+ feet, no wonder he jammed it under a bridge.

FWIW, my wives family is from Evansville.
