New Jeep Wagoneer Destroyed After Delivery Truck Driver Misjudges Low Bridge

In a year where customers are already dealing with lengthy production delays and supply shortages that havestymied auto sales, the last thing you want to hear about is some freak event that has damaged your vehicle. Sadly, theJeep Wagoneeryou see here suffered a premature end to its life.

There are few sadder sights than a brand new vehicle getting damaged or even completely destroyed before its eager owner can take delivery. Last year, wellover 100 new Corvettes were destroyedor damaged by a violent tornado in Kentucky. Just weeks ago, a Ford Bronco customer who placed his order two years ago found out that his new SUV wasbadly damaged in a hailstorm. And now this.

It turns out that bigger isn't always better since the sheer size - and specifically, the height - of this Wagoneer resulted in its demise. The SUV was crushed under a low bridge in Detroit while sitting atop a delivery vehicle. In pictures shared on Twitter, we can see that the Wagoneer became hopelessly lodged between the road below and the bridge above, its entire roof ripped off. Jake Bley, who shared the images on Twitter, said that the Jeep's transporter was parked a little way further up the road, its driver probably in the middle of a decidedly awkward phone call. The picture reveals a large yellow sign that states the bridge's height to be 14 feet and four inches.
