Crash Course

The latest statistics are in: On average, someone crashes into the Long Grove bridge once every week. A spokesman for some non-fictitious agency said, "And the sooner that guy is apprehended the better!"

HaHa, perhaps that guy's been deported, given recent news:

It's been nearly four months since a truck has found itself wedged inside the infamous Long Grove covered bridge

Experts blame GPS. Distracted drivers are simply not being routed under the bridge.

The Village of Buffalo Grove may have a solution:

Buffalo Grove is moving forward with plans to update its gateway signage as part of rebranding efforts. The village also is working to install signs on the Route 83 pedestrian overpass bridge west of Buffalo Grove Road.
