No one was injured in the chlorine disaster.
The “stored” truck.
A refrigerated seafood truck with a large picture of a lobster on the side got “Storrowed” on Monday afternoon. The truck’s exoskeleton – erm, exterior – hit the Charlesgate footbridge and crumpled.
Massachusetts State Police said the truck made contact with the bridge at 12:15 p.m. Troopers removed the shell-shocked vehicle and backed it off the roadway. The scene was cleared just after 1 p.m., according to state police. Authorities have not reported any injuries.
To be given Stored is not very clumsy. The very The Boston incident is when a vehicle, usually a truck, is driven head-on into one of the low footbridges on Storrow Drive, a major arterial park. The phenomenon is very common around September 1, when the city is full of moving trucks.
Just last year, the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation implemented some “anti-Storrowing” measures before September 1. The preventive measures included new road signs reading “Cars Only” and extra padding on bridges in the event of contact by an oversized truck.
