Walker@janerationx its called Storrowing and happens every year because people don't read the numerous large warning signs at every onramp to Storrow Drive.
Many of the bridges are not tall enough for box trucks and they get sliced open like a can opener. Many blame it on college students but I have been stuck behind several "professional" moving companies that got stuck.

Roving U-Haul photographer Paul Kafasis reports he was inbound on Soldiers Field Road down by Harvard Stadium today when he "hit a wave of traffic and saw a mangled U-Haul backing up." He adds that if you look up the bridge the driver will probably never hit again on Google Maps, it's actually marked "low clearence" (so, yeah, Google Maps needs some spelling help).
