CONNERSVILLE CAN OPENER STRIKES AGAIN

(Connersville, IN)--It’s earned the nickname “the Connersville Can Opener.”  And, Thursday, it struck again.  The top of a box truck was sheared off as it tried to pass under the railroad trestle on Central Avenue, which is only slightly more than 11 feet from the street to the bottom of the bridge.  No injuries were reported.  There’s no definitive number on the amount of times the bridge has been struck, but it has happened as many as 25 times in a single calendar year.
