    Don't get 'Storrowed': What you need to know about moving trucks and Boston bridges | WBUR News

    Every year, on Sept. 1, familiar scenes around the city begin to take stage: unwanted furniture lines the curbs of Allston; bars around Brighton Avenue get a bit of renewed life from college students; box trucks flood city roads. And, as history shows, at least some of those trucks are doomed to cause traffic jams on Storrow Drive.

    Getting "Storrowed," as New Englanders commonly refer to it, is when an unwitting driver crashes a moving truck into a low-clearance bridge on Storrow Drive. It's an event so ubiquitous on the parkway that it even has its own entry in Urban Dictionary.
