Truck Gets Stuck Under Bridge

The Sprague and Division intersection is having a rough week. I'd avoid it right now if I were you. A semi truck tried to go under the underpass there but was apparently too tall. In those situations, the truck usually gets stuck. In this case though, the force of the impact tipped the truck over, and it lodged between the rail bridge girders. I happened to be walking back from an appointment and caught all the action. What a mess. There are police and city officials running all over directing traffic and trying to figure out how to get the truck out of there.
