Yesterday, a truck driver in Marion County, Oregon was trying to get to Interstate 5 from a side road, using his GPS for directions. The truck was 14 feet high, and the rapidly approaching railroad overpass was only 11 feet high. The overpass survived, the driver was ok, but the truck is no longer 14 feet high. You could probably get the same effect by driving your pickup truck or SUV loaded with kayaks or canoes and entering a parking garage. Should make quite a racket upon impact. I've done similar with a tree branch.
