A truck delivering electronics got stuck under an underpass on the 65th street transverse in Central Park on Monday afternoon, scraping to a stop just 10 feet away from Central Park West, according to A Walk in the Park blog.

“This happens all the time,” said an officer at the scene. “People don’t pay attention or they think they can make it.”

“All of (sic) trucks are equipped with satellite tracking which allows our office to monitor the movement of all trucks and assist in routing equipment around weather and traffic delays,” the company’s website states.

The vehicle was finally able to break free after air was taken out of the tires.
