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.

SUMMARY: The Glendale shopping center in Amry, heavily damaged by the 2023 EF3 tornado, is finally being demolished, nearly two years after the disaster. The site, which housed a Piggly Wiggly, is being cleared to help the community move on from the trauma associated with the storm. Residents are pleased to see the cleanup, expressing hope for a revitalized entrance to the city. A new investor, who owns the nearby Blue Sky, has acquired the property, although plans for future development remain uncertain. The demolition marks a significant step toward recovering from the tornado’s impact.
