Long Grove Bridge History

The bridge

People are stupid, in less than two years the bridge has been utterly destroyed and crashed into over 30 times. It's sad.

Why this Gist?

I was curious how many times the bridge was hit, but I couldn't find a clear number. So, I decided to make this Gist to put all the articles or personal experiences I could find.

History

# [?] date vehicle size article
1 [1] jun 27 2018 unknown short truck abc
2 [2] aug 15 2020 school bus large bus lmh
3 [12?] aug 20 2020 ambulance short truck ct
4 [13?] feb o2 2021 prism healthcare short truck lmh
5 [14?] apr o9 2021 uhaul med truck lmh
6 [17?] jul 29 2021 generic short truck dh
7 [20?] jul 30 2021 generic short truck lmh
8 [30?] mar 11 2022 uhaul short truck msn

Also: A firetruck hit the bridge as well, as seen in the 7th story, there are two holes in the top, exactly where the ladder hit. I cannot find this story

Fake news

  • It has been claimed that at least 30 vehicles crashed into the bridge, but how can we go from 2 [the school bus incident] to 12 [prism healthcare]?
    • I know that the story is old, but I literally cannot find 10 crashes between aug15 and feb2.
