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.
