Had a new school LDV Sherpa minibus in 1992 to replace the old Bedford Cf . The Geog teacher took it to Penarth on a field trip-he used to park the CF in the old multi-story but didn't realise that the new (one day old) sherpa was nearly 2 feet higher. Smashed in the roof and got it totally jammed under the multi- story roof ;D ;D ;D. Still take the p*** 17 years later.

That would have been scary.  Seen a few reports on the news over the years of buses and lorries that have hit bridges.  But not seen the actual accident filmed.

just found this on YT

Surely bridge designers ought to take a lesson from this and reshape  the leading edge under the bridge.  Then to shave money bus companys could drive them in as double deckers and out again as single deckers. ;D ;D
