Couldn’t Duck

A box truck delivering specialty produce and foods from Sid Wainer & Son in Brooklyn fell victim to the 10-foot-high North Main Street railroad trestle Monday morning and sustained heavy damage.

East Hampton Village Police Chief Gerard Larsen said the road was shut down for a few hours while the stuck truck was removed and towed away. The driver, Wadlet Lebrun of Queens Village, 33, was issued a summons for failure to heed the height clearance restriction. Inspections of the track and bridge turned up no damage, according to Salvatore Arena, a spokesman for the L.I.R.R.
