Jan. 17 (UPI) -- Authorities in Florida said no one was injured when a tractor-trailer became wedged under an overpass on the highway.

The driver said the trailer snagged on the outer wall of the highway and became wedged underneath the overpass.

The truck driver, who was not injured, was able to get out of the vehicle without assistance before emergency responders arrived.

Fire-Rescue officials said they were working to determine whether there was any structural damage to the bridge.

It was unclear whether the driver would be cited over the incident.
