ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — The bed of a dump truck was wedged under the bottom of the overpass that carries the Florida Turnpike over Interstate 4, jamming traffic late Tuesday morning.
Aerial video shows the bed of the truck somehow flipped vertically and hit the the bottom side of the overpass.
Traffic on the Florida Turnpike was not affected. FDOT said the bridge that carries the turnpike is not damaged.
Channel 9's George Waldenberger drove past the crash.
