The Interstate is below street level thru that part of Phoenix, IOW, a man made canyon. Traffic backed up for miles and people mad as hell. All sorts of experts called in and stumped on how to get the thing unstuck.

A woman driving with her young son, I believe 10 or 11 years old, told a cop her son suggested LETTING THE AIR out of the truck's tires and lowering the truck just enough.

Out of the mouths of babes...

Take a good 4 feet off it and send a message to the hauler to think next time.

But that boat is likely a loss anyway. There will be stress cracks throughout the super structure and possibly the hull.

Whoever bought it won't be accepting delivery. And no other buyer is gonna want a multi million dollar bondo project.

So chop it up and get it out the fastest way possible.

Don't worry about property damage. That's already been taken care of.
