morslaSomeone or something really doesn't want me to be in the office today...
I walked up the hill to the tram stop, and watched as a truck tried to drive under the rail bridge - to a fairly spectacular lack of success. The truck collected the #57 tram powerline on the way through, and the impact knocked pieces off the bottom of the bridge before the truck was stuck half way through. Sparks flew, and smoke started billowing from the signals box next to the train line.
I was worried about the driver, in a potentially electrified cabin. Then he gunned the engine again, trying to force his way out the other side - and snapped the power line before getting stuck again, even more solidly under the bridge.
When I left the area, people were telling the driver to turn off his engine and jump out of the truck.
