Drivers are crashing into Queensland rail bridges more and more, causing major delays for passengers and commuters.
The trucking industry is working with rail authorities in urging drivers not to take shortcuts and to know the height of their heavy vehicle.
One such shortcut was taken in Indoorpilly, when a truck driver smashed into a rail bridge, sending a truck bouncing off the bitumen and shrapnel showering onto the road.
"These incidents are dangerous. They're dangerous for the driver, dangerous for the passenger, dangerous for other road users," Scott Reidel from Queensland Rail said.
There were almost 70 bridge strikes across the Queensland Rail network last financial year, leading to more than 530 service delays.
These included drivers losing their loads, and even an instance where a street-mapping car forgot to detour.
"I think generally there's a bit of distraction involved, too much focus on the task at hand," Queensland Trucking Association chief executive Gary Mahon said.
One of the most common collision spots is at Oxley Road in Corinda, with eight strikes.
Rosebed Street at Eudlo on the Sunshine Coast, William Berry Drive in Morayfield, and Park Road, Yeronga also caught out drivers.
A collision can be costly as well, with the maximum penalty for damaging rail infrastructure at $12,000.
