A FedEx truck hit the historic Robert Parker Coffin Bridge in Long Grove Saturday afternoon, marking at least the 74th time the bridge has been struck in recent years.
The FedEx box truck had pulled out of a parking lot next to Neumann’s Cigars and More of Long Grove around 2:35 p.m. Saturday.
The truck began traveling westbound on Robert Parker Coffin Road toward Schaeffer Road, according to surveillance video.
The top of the FedEx truck reportedly struck the struts of the Robert Parker Coffin Bridge as it proceeded through the bridge.
Neumann’s Cigars and More of Long Grove said the truck was able to free itself after the driver reversed out from the bridge.
It is unclear if the truck left the scene but the Lake County Sheriff’s Office was there right after the incident occurred, the business said.
