MOBILE, Alabama - No matter how many warning signs are posted for truck drivers, accidents like this seem to happen way too often at Bankhead Tunnel.
An 18-wheeler attempted to enter the Bankhead Tunnel around 9:00am Thursday morning, but was too tall to fit, and got stuck.
Amy Rogers saw the alert on our Facebook Page and wrote, "As a former truck driver, this was always on my mind... Watch the signs!!! Know how high your truck and trailer are relative to tunnels and overpasses!!!"
The Eastbound lane remained clear throughout the morning, but the Westbound lane was blocked off entirely. ALDOT soon arrived to fix the issue.
Brandy DeFelippo Crosby also saw the notice on Facebook and was one of the only people who defended the driver, writing, "It was an accident. They happen. People are so quick to verbally berate total strangers. Its disgusting. He's not the first and he certainly won't be the last to do this. He's not a complete moron or a loser. He's just human. Like YOU'VE never made a mistake."
Police cars were also on hand to direct traffic throughout the morning.
