JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Florida Department of Transportation is inspecting a bridge over Interstate 295 after the bed of a dump truck crashed into an overpass, causing damage to multiple beams Monday morning, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The crash happened around 9:20 a.m. on I-295 North and Old Middleburg Road, and as FDOT crews evaluate the bridge, the right outside lane of traffic is blocked.
A crash report states the bed of the dump truck was elevated when it went under the overpass, causing it to crash into the bridge's beams.

The 51-year-old Jacksonville man driving the truck was not hurt in the crash.
Drivers are encouraged to use caution in the area.
