A bridge in Durham, North Carolina has been dubbed the 'can opener' because of the sheer number of trucks and vans that have lost their roofs while attempting to drive underneath it.

The hundred-year-old train trestle bridge reportedly claims around one van a month, with the vast majority of its victims being rental vans driven by either inexperienced truck drivers, or people unfamiliar with the area.
