Drivers Wanted

 A railroad trestle above Route 24 in Richmond was moved 6-8 inches Friday morning when a tractor-trailer truck hit the structure.

Richmond police said the accident happened just after 10:30 a.m. when Dale Laney, a driver for Northcenter Food Services, did not see a sign warning of low clearance.
Police said the truck made it under the trestle but the top  of the truck was sheared off.
Crews from the Maine Department of Transportation welded brackets to the trestle as a temporary fix but will return on Monday to make permanent repairs.
