Storrow bridge peels back truck like a can of sardines

Truck with roof peeled back on Storrow Drive

The front of the truck ...

We've had plenty of near misses of late, but tonight we had a real, honest-to-goodness storrowing, heading inbound by BU, as Kyle R-C shows us.

And the back of the truck ...

Back of the truck

The truck after they managed to back it out.

Near perfect shave job, that.

However,without the degree of distress added by a half- or full tipover, I can't give it more than a solid 8.0.

This deserves some kind of special above and beyond the call of duty award. This isn't some out of town student with a rental truck or some truck driver from Texas in Boston for the first time

.NEMF is a Massachusetts company and they've been around for a long time. Somebody should have known better.

NEMF is probably one of the best local logistics companies out there. I get deliveries from them regularly and their drivers are great. Management is great too, always polite on the phone and they get stuff done fast.

This driver might be new or not local - they have offices down to NJ - and I think he might not be working there much longer.

I used to work in a job that involved expediting shipments from a variety of carriers. NEMF was always professional and did a good job. This incident surprises me.

I'm pretty sure that they're based in NJ. I see their trucks everywhere. This driver should have known.
