At around 2AM on August 8, a tractor trailer truck hit a pedestrian

walkway over I-95 south, which brought it crashing down onto the

hightway, and toppled trailer. The truck cab stayed upright, and

the truck and the cab came to a stop just a few feet after the

bridge, with the bridge on top of the trailer. Traffic stopped

immediately, and it appears that no one was hurt. I wasn't able to

confirm the safety of the driver of the truck. Traffic was stopped

by police going northbound, apparently due to worries about the

integrity of the remaining section of the bridge. The bridge

remained intact over the northbound portion while I was there, as

did the ramp leading up to the bridge. There appeared to be a wire

or cable stretching accross the road from a lamp post to the truck,

which stopped pedestrians from crossing over from the northern side

of the accident to the southern side. Emergency vehicles were able

to access the accident from both side, but we were there watching

it for about 10 minutes before they showed up.

The accident ocurred around Waterbury Ave on i95, at the

footbrige in the Bronx, near exit 7A.

Warning, the audio portion of the video file contains an

explitive.

Also, please excuse the duplicate post. Something about my last one didn't work, not all media files worked.
