Un camión que no cabía

 Spain > País Vasco > Álava > Vitoria-Gasteiz

And the warning printed on the same Firestone advertising banner already warned the driver of a clear height of the bridge under the railway of 4.5 meters. The driver of truck M-115725 either did not appreciate the indication about the maximum size for the transit of large vehicles or he believed that he would be free with the trailer loaded with a huge construction machine. For one reason or another, the thing is that the heavy transport that was leaving Vitoria on the N-1? (Irún-Madrid) got stuck on Castilla Street early in the morning of April 25, 1961. Nor was it the first nor would he be the last who wanted to cross the railway structure and could not when the very busy passage area, with only one lane in each direction, was as narrow as can be seen in the image. The mishap attracted, as usual, the attention of curious onlookers and also the presence of Mayor Luis Ibarra. Traffic was disrupted for the time it took for assistance to tow the truck and return it to the road.
