A truck gets stuck in the narrow lane of a Golden Gate Bridge toll lane. July 2, 2013
A truck driver carrying a load of
furniture got his vehicle stuck in a narrow toll lane on the Golden Gate
Bridge Tuesday morning, and despite closing some lanes of traffic to
haul the truck out, the odd-looking sight did not cause major damage or
injury.
California Highway Patrol Office
Andrew Barclay said Donald Dayler of Cambridge, Ontario in Canada, was
driving a combination truck-trailer southbound across the Golden Gate
Bridge before 9 a.m., trying to get from Sonoma County to San Francisco.
That's when he tried to get into the proper wide lane, but couldn't, he
told officers, because there was too much traffic.
Instead, Daylor drove his truck
through the No. 3 toll plaza lane, where he got stuck. Three lanes were
shut down so a tow truck could pull Dayler's truck out, and other than a
broken axle and some toll booth damage, no one was seriously hurt,
Barclay said.
Dayler was not arrested, but Barclay
did say that any financial payouts will have to be dealt with the Golden
Gate Bridge district.
