Generally they're on carriers because they're badly damaged, not the other way around.

Where was this? Where 28 crosses under the Green Line just south of Lechmere, the Gilmore Bridge, or Museum Way? None of them has a posted height restriction as far as I know.

It was right here: https://goo.gl/maps/8BMMECEHX442

And you are correct, there is no posted clearance information.

The vehicle is over height.

I didn't read the description, and only saw the SUV getting loaded onto the truck, presumably to be towed away. Was thinking "how the hell could a Jeep not clear that"? Makes much more sense that it was on a car carrier.

I never said the bridge was low clearance, or that the vehicle was over height. I just said for information's sake that there was no posted clearance information.
