Bakery box truck dangles off South Fla. overpass
Bakery box truck left dangling off ramp over Interstate 95 in Fort Lauderdale
Rescue crews used an elevated ladder to reach the passenger compartment of a bakery box truck left dangling over the side of a highway overpass ramp in Fort Lauderdale.
Officials say two people were in the truck when it crashed about 5 a.m. Wednesday on a ramp from State Road 84 to Interstate 95. The truck came to rest halfway off the ramp with its front end smashed into a pillar.
The crash caused traffic to back up on both roads during the morning rush hour.
Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue spokesman Matt Little says one person was taken to a hospital in an unknown condition. He says the second person was pinned inside the truck and "unresponsive."
A sign on the truck indicates it is from Tracy Bakery in Miami.
