Virginia State Police and personnel from the Virginia Department of Transportation were soon on scene, attempting to decipher the age-old square-peg-in-a-round-hole conundrum while unsuccessfully trying to locate where common sense had disappeared to.

A military convoy cruising through Virginia Beach confronted an unexpected delay at a busy intersection Monday when one of its vehicles decided to (unsuccessfully) challenge the clearly-displayed height restriction of an overpass.

Be the one to lodge a vehicle under an overpass and supply safety brief orators everywhere with more ammunition.

“If driving a 13-foot-tall vehicle, don’t try to drive under an overpass with a maximum height restriction of 12 feet, good to go?”

The incident, which reportedly occurred just before noon on London Bridge Road, created a multi-lane blockade that had the morale of those stuck in traffic falling down, falling down, falling down. (Sincere apologies.)
