Post Road Railroad Bridge Snags Tanker Truck
The 18-wheeler became lodged under the low-hanging overpass Friday evening.
The Post Road was closed in downtown Darien Friday evening as a tanker truck became stuck under the railroad bridge that runs just north of Tokeneke Road.
The truck, an 18-wheeler, was traveling north at the time when it was stopped by the low-hanging overpass.
The bridge — — has a clearance of 10'9", too low for the typical tractor-trailer.
