PROSPECT PARK, Pa. - SkyFOX was over an accident scene Wednesday afternoon after a tractor trailer struck a beam of an Amtrak bridge in Delaware County and got stuck.

The bright yellow bridge, located at 11th and Lincoln Avenues in Prospect Park, has significant damage after the tractor trailer crashed into it, according to Prospect Park Police Chief Dave Madonna.

These accidents seem to happen often in this area as the truck drivers think they have clearance to pass underneath the bridge, which is only 12 feet, 6 inches high.Businesses in the area say the impact was so loud, they could hear the "bang" when it happened.  "Yes, it's a very loud sound.

It does happen a lot here," said Dana Wright, manager of the Ray of Light Beauty Salon, located on the corner near the accident scene. "It's scary a little bit because it rattles the buildings."MORE HEADLINESProspect Park police say they closed down the area roads to keep the scene safe because the damage affected the overpass of the bridge, too.
