Country star, Luke Bryan has a massive tour going on this summer including a stop at Wrigley Field in Chicago. It takes several semi-trucks to get the equipment from city to city across the country. Each town is different so it takes some skill to navigate through traffic to arrive at the venue.

One of the trucks from Bryan's tour must have gotten turned around and ended up on a side street instead of the main road. I'm guessing the driver was trying to figure out the directions and wasn't paying attention to the clearance height of a bridge because it was too low and the semi got stuck.

Even though the truck sat there for several hours before being freed, the show went on as scheduled with no problems. It wasn't the first time this happened at this bridge. In fact, it happens quite often.

This isn't the first time one of Luke Bryan's trucks got stuck. A similar situation happened in Long Island, New York a few years ago.
