There's a sign where he hit that gives the clearance.
Looks like he's about 2 feet higher than the clearance...

I drive by it every day so i may just zone out when i go by there, but i also believe they have things hanging at the first bridge that hang at the level of the low part, so if you hit that, you aren’t going to clear it.
NGL, i chuckled when i saw it a few moments ago

Pfft, that's got nothing on the Iowa Ave viaduct. Signage all over the place yet knuckleheads attempt to go under to this day.
9’2” is a pretty low clearance and a driver should know they’re not going make that.
Truck drivers aren't always the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Standard height to the vast majority of tractor trailers.
Why make a major road that doesn’t accommodate them?
Is there a reason they don’t dig the road bed down a few more feet?
There is no reason for a truck to go down there if they are trying to get to quaker. Just beyond the interstate bridge is a stop light. Going straight is the entrance to employee parking with a sign that says “no trucks”. The truck cannot turn right as it is a one way and going down the one way would take him away from quaker. He needed to go down a block and turn where the one way begins.
Everything in Cedar Rapids is second class to the Quad Cities... rivers, nightlife, restaurants, arena, truck eating bridges
There was a railroad overpass near the EPB in Iowa City where this happened at least twice when I was there. One time we heard the boom and someone coming into the EPB after us told us the noise was a truck striking the overpass.
And it is still happening! "Police say crashes like this does happen about once a year."

Not true.
Cedar Rapids has the best trash heap turned into a tourist attraction in Iowa. Maybe all of America!

Al Capone's favorite gangster ran that city. Hell yeah!
Cedar Rapids has no one as cool as this guy:
While John Looney had several homes, his mansion overlooking the Rock River called Bel Air was famous for its weeklong parties, drunken orgies, nude swimming in the Rock River, and cock fights, boxing and bulldog fights.

In a family of four (5), you're bound to have one troubled soul. That said, Rock Island has alot of potential.
I don't know that I'd want to be drunk swimming in the Rock River with that current. BTW, sounds alot like Cedar Rapids today.
