Permitless truckers cause overpass crash

A trucker, traveling without oversize permits hit an overpass in Bismarck, North Dakota yesterday on the I-94. Permitless Oil Truck Hits Overpass

According to North Dakota Highway Patrol, a caravan of three oil field trucks were traveling to Kansas when the first truck hit the 80th Street Overpass just after getting on the I-94 at exit 160.

All three trucks were 16’2″ high and the overpass clearance was 16’1″.

The highway patrol also confirmed none of the drivers had the proper permits, which would have led to them being rerouted to a different highway. They may also be responsible for the overpass damages.
