MechEngr - check the press images (eg the town mane in the green sign) and you’ll find it was travelling under the bridge from the opposite direction, where there is no height restriction sign on GSV (interesting from a potential court case point of view)

Also, another airframe waiting on an S92 rotor head, potentially- but the airframe damage may ace that in the insurance assessment as suggested in other posts

Shame on the driver or dispatcher for not checking the route - there are maps, but someone took down a critical warning sign.

The state DoT has been very very bad for a long time. It was there during construction in 2011, but gone by 2015.
