A landscaping truck hauling large tree stumps crashed into the Lakeside Avenue overpass above Interstate 95 on Wednesday afternoon, closing all northbound lanes.

Virginia State Police said the incident happened around 1:20 p.m., and the driver of the truck was transported to VCU Medical Center for treatment of injuries that weren't considered life-threatening.

Police said all lanes would remain blocked during what was expected to be a slow recovery process, due to the weight of the truck and a large spill of hydraulic fluid. Another vehicle also sustained damage in the crash.

Police also said a bridge inspector would assess the overpass.

The Virginia Department of Transportation said traffic was temporarily diverted onto exit 79, which is the exit to I-195 south and I-64 west. VDOT adv
