A truck hauling tires slammed into a bridge on Interstate 16 early Thursday, creating traffic chaos for beachgoers and port transportation after authorities shut down the major thoroughfare.
The highway was shut between exits 71 and 78 following the crash.
Georgia Department of Transportation crews assessing the damage reported that the crash shifted the bridge 6 feet off its regular mark. They plan to remove the remainder of the trailer today and begin demolishing the bridge.
