Around 6 a.m. on Friday, a truck driver from Columbus, OH, found out what happens when you ignore the "Low Clearance" sign on a railroad bridge in Canton after disregarding the "posted warning signs of height restrictions" in Canton.

Transit Police report the roof of the trailer was torn plumb off, its side walls buckled, and spilled its contents all over the road.

After an inspection, commuter-rail inspectors declared the bridge the winner and train service resumed.
