Road closes after tractor-trailer hits City of Tonawanda bridge

The driver got a ticket for violating height restrictions, and it took about 90 minutes to get Fillmore Avenue open again.

TONAWANDA, N.Y. — It's not the same bridge that truck after truck was hitting last year, but the City of Tonawanda dealt with another tractor-trailer that tried to go through an underpass that it shouldn't have gone under.

Police say a driver from Mexico was headed to a warehouse in North Tonawanda when he hit the CSX rail bridge on Fillmore Avenue on Thursday at about 1 p.m.

He got a ticket for violating height restrictions, and it took about 90 minutes to get the street back open again.

No injuries were reported.
