        "text": "Roe, C.J.\nThis matter coming to be heard on Respondent\u2019s motion for summary judgment, due notice having been served, and the Court being fully advised in the premises, we find as follows:\nClaimant alleges that while driving on Interstate 80-94 in Cook County, the top of his trailer struck the underside of the Torrence Avenue overpass. Claimant further maintains that his trailer was not in excess of 13 feet, 6 inches, as is required by section 15 \u2014 103 of the Illinois Vehicle Code (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1979, ch. 95\u00bd, par. 15 \u2014 103). The allegation against Respondent is that it was negligent for maintaining a low-clearance overpass without posting warning signs.\nRespondent bases its motion upon an affidavit from the Department of Transportation. This affidavit states, in part, as follows:\n\u201c3. That the vertical clearances on Interstate 80 under the Torrence Avenue overpass were from a minimum of 15'-9\", to a maximum of 16'-5\", prior to, on, and, subsequent to January 10, 1980.\n4. That there are no overpasses similar to the one described in Claimant\u2019s complaint on any Illinois Highway in this area.\u201d (Exhibit A to Respondent\u2019s motion.)\nRespondent concludes from this information that Claimant either did not strike the overpass named in the complaint (or any other overpass in the area), or that Claimant\u2019s vehicle exceeded 15 feet 9 inches in height. Either instance is sufficient ground to grant judgment for Respondent.\nRespondent\u2019s motion is hereby granted and Claimant\u2019s claim is hereby denied.",
