We'll cross that bridge when we get there...

We all have those routes that we pass every day, we know every bump in the road, every signpost, every bridge.

Well in the city of Durham in North Carolina, there's a bridge and no matter what local authorities do, people crash into it.

It's a low train bridge, and while when it was constructed the height was perfectly acceptable, as years went on vehicles got larger and lorries got taller.

The bridge sees hundreds of crashes a year, with chancers deciding with a bit of wishful thinking, they might just squeeze through.

The result is a YouTube channel, set up by a resident to document every single incident.

In recent years, bright yellow signage and lights to warn truck drivers have been put in place - they even tried to raise the bridge by about 8 inches.

But the truck drivers aren't interested, they'll keep chancing and they'll keep crashing.
