Massachusetts State Police recently posted images of a 2020 Chevrolet Trax crossover SUV that was absolutely demolished after it struck several overpasses while loaded onto a car carrier semi truck.
The collision reportedly occurred on the morning of Tuesday, March 3rd, in the Massachusetts city of Peabody. Massachusetts State Police say the 2020 Chevrolet Trax struck two different overpasses, including the overpass for Endicott Street, and the overpass for Route 114.
Luckily, no one was injured in the incident. What’s more, the two overpasses were reportedly undamaged by the collision. However, traffic was shut down on Route 128 in order to clean up the wreckage.
The new Trax was apparently fixed to the top of the car carrier, and was too tall to fit under the overpasses. How the driver managed to hit not one, but two overpasses with this poor Chevy remains somewhat of a mystery, but it’s possible the first collision was minor and went unnoticed, while the second collision destroyed the vehicle.
And when we say destroyed, we mean utterly, flat-out demolished. This crossover looks like it didn’t even stand a chance, like it was dropped off a cliff then run over by a tank for good measure. It’s broken in half, with most of the body panels either completely gone or falling off in tatters, while the interior is a tangled mess of wires and ruined upholstery. The wheels might be salvageable, but the rest of it is toast.
“MA traffic update: Cleanup is underway. Collision destroyed the 2020 Chevrolet Trax. Right lane still closed on Rte 128 SB in Peabody, just south of the Danvers line,” Massachusetts State Police tweeted, along with pictures of the destroyed Chevrolet Trax.

That’s it! IIHS must come up with a standardized test for this. With only a few tweaks, all cars should soon be able to pass this test and many lives will be saved! (just joking of course.)
Good lord. I know two people who must have zero sense of humor. Why so cranky?
That should just buff out.
LOL. That’s a good one.
You beat me to that…!

We had a driver here create several new topless Cherokee’s. Really did a number on them too.
That’s one truck driver without a job and looking for a new career.
Damn..That Trax for was for Lizzy Liar Warren’s kid.
911: Whats’s your emergency?
Driver: I got a car that just got ripped off.
When is GMC planning on bringing the Avalanche back? As there’s a lot of us previously owners that would like to trade our old ones in for a nice new one. What you say?
Were there posted signs as to the height of the overpass? If it’s below the legal height of a tractor trailer, they are supposed to have it posted so things like this DON’T happen. Travel around the country and check for yourself. I did. I drove a truck and never hit an overpass.
