An intersection in Spokane, Washington, was temporarily closed on Saturday after a tractor trailer got stuck in a ditch while making a turn.
The incident happened in downtown Spokane, at the intersection of Division and Sprague.
Spokane Police say the truck “took the turn too tight” around 6 a.m. on Saturday morning and ended up getting stuck in a construction hole at the intersection.
Crews initially expected the intersection to reopen around 7 a.m., however the closure lasted longer than expected because crews had a tough time getting the tractor trailer removed.
