HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) — A truck was stuck under a bridge in Harrisburg on May 19.
According to an abc27 photographer who was on the scene, the truck was wedged under a bridge on Front Street near the UMPC Harrisburg Hospital.
This is a common occurrence at the bridge. Crews had to wait to make sure there was no structural damage to the bridge before they were able to unlodge it.
The scene has since been cleared and the road is back open. There is no word if anyone was injured because of the incident.
