Wind causes accident on Godwin Bridge
Published 11:40 am Friday, December 21, 2012
Traffic along Bridge Road was backed up for much of Friday after a morning accident on the Godwin Bridge.
High winds blew a mobile home off a tractor-trailer around 10:36 a.m., according to a city press release. The mobile home weighed an estimated 20,000 pounds.
Both lanes of the bridge were closed until about 2 p.m., causing massive backups on both sides and detour routes.
Later, backups continued while a towing company removed debris from the accident. Crews alternated traffic direction in one lane across the bridge.
