Truck gets stuck under an overpass
SUMMARY: A truck became stuck under a bridge on I-20 westbound near Ellis Avenue around 2 PM, blocking the left lane for about two hours. MDOT crews have freed the trailer and are now inspecting the bridge for damage. The 18-wheeler was carrying an oversized load, causing it to hit the bridge at an angle, almost in an L shape. Traffic is slowly resuming, but MDOT estimates clearance within the next hour. Drivers are advised to seek alternative routes to avoid delays in the area.
