A dozey driver in Banbridge has had a narrow escape after scraping off his truck's roof, passing under a bridge.
Police say despite the damage the driver carried on for ten miles from the bridge, named The Cut, to Portadown.
Then, not 24 hours later a second driver made the same miscalculation of the bridge's height.
In a Facebook post PSNI Banbridge wrote, "So many lessons from one picture!
"First up, if you're driving a vehicle you're not used to, make sure you know it's dimensions!! Van and lorry drivers in particular, know the height of your vehicle and always check the marked clearance height of bridges before passing under them for the first time."
