FORKLIFT STRIKES BRIDGE

WHITEHALL TOWNSHIP, PA, United States
Thursday, 2 Oct 2003

Part of the major US highway Route 22 was closed for three hours last week after a forklift being carried on the back of a truck struck an overpass.

Police told the Allentown Morning Call newspaper that the flatbed tractor-trailer struck the Fullerton Bridge overpass, near Whitehall Township in Pennsylvania, about 9am last Friday.

While nobody was injured, debris from the forklift's chains was thrown from the truck and struck two cars. The truck driver was charged with violating load height rules.
