Truck Comes Close To Falling Off Interstate Ramp

Truck crashes over railing at I-4 and I-275 junction in Tampa, Fla.

Tampa, Fla.-(Newsradio 970 WFLA)-A flatbed tractor trailer rig came dangerously close to falling off of a downtown interstate ramp thanks to heavy rain from Tropical Storm Emily.

Florida Highway Patrol Sergeant Steve Gaskins says the trucker lost control on the wet roadway on the Interstate Four exit ramp to southbound Interstate 275. The truck's front end came to a final rest partially protruding over the barrier wall.  The rest of the truck blocked all of the lanes to southbound 275.

Gaskins says there were no injuries as a result of the crash and the load of vinyl fencing remained intact.
