Get ready to shake your head and roll your eyes because someone hit the Long Grove bridge – again.
For the second time in eight days, a truck trying to squeeze under the historic Robert Parker Coffin Bridge hit the top of the structure, causing the vehicle to rock back and forth.
This time, however, the bridge was not hit by a box truck, which seems to be the main culprit in many of these things.
This time the bridge was whacked by a valve at the top of a gas or water truck, the video shows.

The top nozzle of the truck hit the bridge, causing the vehicle to lurch from side to side before continuing and squeezing through the other side.
The truck went exceptionally slow through the bridge, however, and it did stop for a second when the truck rattled back and forth.
Lake County Sheriff’s Deputy Chief Christopher Covelli was not available to provide information about the latest incident.
This is the latest in a series of bridge hits that the historic structure has withstood in 2024 and the fifth in the last eight days.
