Cracked! Lobster truck damaged in Boston ‘storrowing'

No injuries were reported, but traffic delays should be expected

A refrigerated seafood truck was "storrowed" on Monday afternoon, getting stuck under the Charles Street pedestrian overpass.

The act of "storrowing," or getting stuck under one of the low-lying bridges over Storrow Drive, is a common occurrence in Boston, as people overestimate the height of bridges or fail to realize how tall their moving trucks are.
