An oversized box truck got wedged under the historic Robert Parker Coffin Bridge in Long Grove – again.
Motorists in Long Grove sent pictures to the Lake & McHenry County Scanner Wednesday showing the oversized box truck wedged under the canopy of the bridge.
The bridge is located at Robert Parker Coffin Road and Schaeffer Road in Long Grove.
The truck attempted to cross the bridge and struck the canopy, becoming wedged directly under a sign saying the bridge is only 8 feet, 6 inches tall.
A tow truck has responded to the scene and it’s unclear at this time if the bridge sustained damage.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Take the sign off that historic bridge, build a steel height barrier ten feet before the entrance and put the sign there so that fair warning is issued.
