The crash occurred about 9 a.m. when the trucker attempted to drive under the bridge on 103rd Street South near Grey Cloud Trail, but his semi was too tall to make it, according to Cottage Grove police.

A post on the Cottage Grove Public Safety Department’s Facebook page reported that the driver “was unfamiliar with Cottage Grove and got lost trying to make a delivery” to the nearby business park.

No one was injured in the crash, and the road had reopened by 6 p.m.
