.....crossing 51 bridges from Miami before reaching Key West, southernmost U.S. city. An 18-wheeler's trailer dangled by its rear wheels from a bridge for several hours July 26 after it crashed on the only highway in the Florida Keys. The truck was involved in a multi-vehicle accident at 6 a.m. when the trailer separated from the cab & went over a guardrail. The empty trailer was hanging over the water before a crane hauled it up. The tractor did not go over the guardrail & driver was unhurt. One person in car hit by the truck suffered minor injuries. U.S. 1, the road linking the Florida Keys to the mainland, was closed in both directions for about 6 hours after wreck near Mile Marker 71, 80 miles SW of Miami. Once the truck was cleared, the bridge was inspected by state transportation & reopened at 12:30 p.m. |
