EVENING AND 10-11 TONIGHT.

I KNOW YOU HAVE A LOT OF

ACCIDENTS AND SLOWDOWNS.

DOWNTOWN RALEIGH, THE RAILROAD

BRIDGE STRIKES AGAIN, WE HAVE A

TRUCK STUCK UNDER THEIR RIGHT

AROUND WEST STREET.

LET'S GO LIVE TO THE STORM

TRACTOR.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

YOU SEE THIS AREA CLOSED OFF

ALL THE WAY TO GLENWOOD.

RIGHT NOW WE HAVE NOT SEEN

TRAFFIC REALLY CAUSING ANY

TROUBLE.

YOU CAN SEE THE DEBRIS RIGHT

NOW WE ARE SEEING HERE ON P

STREET.

THIS 18 WHEELER VEHICLE JUST

HITTING THAT GLOW CLEAR INSIDE.

THIS HAS BEEN OPENED.

YOU CAN SEE HOW IT BASICALLY

OPENED IT UP LIKE A CAN OF

SARDINES.

IT LOOKS LIKE INSULATION IS ON

THE GROUND.

THIS IS GOING TO BE QUITE A

MESS.

YOU CAN SEE THE DAMAGE THAT IT

ALSO DID TO THE BRIDGE.

YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK CLOSELY, IT

SCRAPED THE BRIDGE PRETTY

BADLY.

BUT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO

ME.

I'M GOING TO BELIEVE THAT THEY

NEED TO TAKE SOME TIME TO GET

THIS OUT.

HOW THEY'RE GOING TO DO THAT IS

GOING TO OBVIOUSLY TAKE SOME

TIME.

I AM SURE YOU HAVE MORE

INFORMATION ABOUT THAT ON HOW

LONG THIS COULD POSSIBLY TAKE

TO CLEAN UP.

THE NORTH SIDE OF DOWNTOWN

RALEIGH.

TYPICALLY IT TAKES THEM A FEW

HOURS TO GET IT CLEARED UP.

IN THE MEANTIME, IF YOU'RE
