DUPONT -- An oversize truck became stuck under a bridge in Luzerne County.

Police said a flatbed truck carrying two large reels of plastic was following a flagger truck on Route 315 in Dupont. The flagger truck made it underneath the Interstate 81 overpass, but when the flatbed tried to follow it became stuck.

Police believe the pavement under the bridge is uneven and that's why the truck got stuck under the bridge.

A towing company was able to help readjust the two reels of plastic, weighing 18,000 pounds each, and remove the truck.

A bridge inspector is expected to check out the bridge for damage.

Police did not issue any citations.
