ROCHESTER, N.Y. Part of the empty flatbed on a tractor-trailer hit the Interstate 490 bridge in Rochester this morning as the truck tried to pass under it.
Police say a portion of the flatbed lifted and latched onto a girder underneath the bridge as the truck went along Mount Read Boulevard at about 6:45.
As a result, the cab of the Suburban Disposal truck lifted and collided with girders supporting the bridge and dropped back to the ground.
Captain Thomas D'Angelo tells the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle that the driver was found unconscious. He was taken to Strong Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
His identity was not immediately disclosed.
