This is why you never pull a fifth wheel with just a 4-wheeled truck. If it don't have 6, it shouldn't be pulling a fifth wheel.

If he would have went just a little faster he could have made it through.

You just have to wonder what the driver was thinking? 8 feet for crying out loud! You would probably just feel like ducking with the TV alone as you approached that bridge and from the looks of things he was not going slow, wow, some people's children.

"Yep Honey, she pulls like a dream. You'd hardly ever remember it was bac......."


In all seriousness, it does appear that is the owner/driver with the police so it seems there is nobody hurt...so we can play with it a little.

That happened September 7th 2010 in Billings Montana. That's a 2009 Wildcat 28RKBS. The man in the picture is from Colusa, CA.

BTW, he's not the only one to hit that low clearance on north 21st street in Billings.

THINGS HAPPEN!!

The important thing is hoping no one was hurt!

I agree and as someone said it appeared the owner was out with LEO looking at the damage or I wouldn't have posted. I would guess that their neck might be sore from the sudden stop.

I was looking at that picture and was thinking, "Damn, that looks like the underpass down by Montana Ave." Lol. My neck of the woods.
