PROSPECT PARK, Pa. (CBS) — A tractor-trailer truck got stuck under an Amtrak bridge on Route 420 in Prospect Park, Pennsylvania, Friday morning, images from Chopper 3 showed.
The bridge, next to Marty Magee’s Irish Pub, has a posted clearance of 12 feet, 6 inches.
Part of the roof of the trailer appeared to be torn off. Crews were on scene in the Delaware County borough through the morning working to get the truck freed.
Just after noon, Marty Magee’s posted on Facebook that the truck had been moved away.
“Hats off to our police, fire police and boro highway crew for getting the stuck truck out from the bridge in time for opening! Come have a drink!!!” the bar’s post read.
The bridge gets hit often. It has a low-clearance bar leading up to the bridge that’s supposed to deter truck drivers, though that didn’t happen in this case.
Other business owners in the area have said when the bridge gets hit, their business suffers. Salvatore Mini, owner of the Mini Reef aquarium store, previously told CBS News Philadelphia that a prior crash shook his building and shut down the road for multiple hours.
