A height sensor on the street detected impending doom here last month. Yellow lights began flashing a block away. The danger: A Budget rental truck barging down the road wasn’t going to get under the railroad overpass.

The truck ignored the warning. It rumbled underneath. Its roof did not.

I stumbled upon 11foot8 a couple of years ago and spent the next couple of days obsessed with it. So good.
