The railroad bridge, notorious for its low clearance over the roadway, has a height of 12 feet 4 inches. Tuesday morning's occurrence was the third time in the last week that a truck got stuck under the crossing.

A large chunk of the roof of the truck's trailer was completely ripped off.

"Just another day with the Peace Street Bridge," said Steve Gardner, general manager of the nearby Mellow Mushroom. "I've been here 16 years and that's the worst I've seen."

It's unknown if anyone was injured.
