As this is a BBC report surely it should be referred to as a 'mistake'?

Does seem odd to call it 'misjudgment' - unless the driver had to do a bit of mental arithmetic to convert from metres to feet and inches?

From the BBC:
An HGV lorry got stuck under a bridge in Shropshire because the driver had "misjudged heights", say police.
West Mercia Police attended the scene on Whittington Road in Oswestry at about 20:35 GMT on Saturday, where the lorry with the livery of retailer The Range on the side had become wedged underneath the Cambrian Railway Bridge.
The force said the road was closed for several hours to allow for the recovery of the vehicle and thanked motorists and nearby residents for their patience.
It added that there were no injuries and no arrests made.
The Range has also been contacted for comment.
