SUMMARY OF CRASH:

 

On 7-16-22 at approximately 1600 hours, Vermont State Police were dispatched to a call concerning, once again, a truck hitting the top of the covered bridge on Center Street in the Town of Lyndonville, Vermont.

 

Investigation revealed Stewart was following his Wife's vehicle  who was using a GPS to return their Penski moving truck. Stewarts' wife's vehicle made it through the bridge but sadly the Penski Truck, which is taller than 11'9", did not fit through the covered bridge without breaking a portion of the top. It should be noted like the sign says before the bridge, ALL vehicle's above 11' 9"  DO NOT fit under the covered bridge. Once Stewart realized the errors of his ways, he pulled over and called the Vermont State Police.
