Freeway Sign Collapses in San Diego Mon Jan 23, 9:58 PM ET
An 18-ton sign over a freeway fell on a car after a recycling truck slammed into it during the morning rush hour Monday, officials said. One person was injured.
The truck had its hydraulic boom raised, holding up a recycling bin, when it struck the sign, which was 20 feet above the pavement and spanned northbound Interstate 805, state Transportation Department spokesman Steve Saville said.
A 39-year-old man in the car was freed by rescue crews and taken to a hospital with a broken wrist. The 67-year-old driver of the truck was not injured.
The driver didn't know the boom was extended, and it can be operated only from the outside of the truck, the California Highway Patrol said. Officials are investigating the possibility of mechanical failure.
The northbound lanes were closed north of downtown San Diego, and traffic backed up for miles.
