Around 8:20 a.m., CHP responded to a crash on the eastbound lanes of US-50 under the Bradshaw Road overpass. An officer arrived on scene and found it damaged on the western edge over the highway, CHP said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The officer later discovered that a tractor-truck driver was transporting a “large excavator” on the highway but failed to secure its bucket. The bucket hit the bottom of the overpass, knocking off about six to ten inches of concrete.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After hitting the overpass, the excavator released oil that spilled onto a car behind the truck.<\/p>\n

According to CHP, a Caltrans inspection found that no immediate repairs were needed and no injuries resulted from the collision.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Be sure to secure your load properly and double-check the high point of your load before setting off on your trip,” CHP warned.<\/p>\n
