NORTH CAROLINA — A tractor-trailer fell off a bridge Tuesday morning on an Interstate 87 ramp near Interstate 440, prompting road closures and traffic delays.

The crash occurred around 10:30 a.m. on the I-87 ramp over I-440 near New Hope Road.

Authorities said the tractor-trailer appeared to have gone off the bridge and crashed beneath the ramp.

The I-87 overpass is completely closed at the exit toward I-440 east as emergency crews work at the scene.

A traffic alert indicated the road was expected to reopen by noon. Officials have not yet released details about possible injuries or what caused the crash.
