Unbelievable, although it managed to miss the height restriction sign itself!

 

I'd say the driver was quite shocked after that impact - enough to keep him awake in future?

an artic driver stoped short of the railway bridge at the station in portlaoise, realised he couldnt take a right at the heritage hotel as its one way, and he couldnt reverse as the traffic wouldnt permit it. i was amazed when he fiddled the cab and the rear tractor suspension dropped. then he did the same to the trailer, and off he went - never knew truck suspensions could be altered for height! ... another learning day!

That tractor unit looks well twisted. A write-off?

Yes, air suspension. It's very easy to alter the height, but not by a huge amount. Certainly not enough for the guy in Cork!
