FALMOUTH - A flatbed carrying an excavator crashed into an Interstate-295 overpass on Saturday afternoon, reducing the northbound flow to one lane and stacking up southbound traffic due to gawking passers-by.
The crash occurred around 5 p.m. at the Tuttle Road overpass and snarled traffic for about an hour before the roadway could be cleared.
Maine DOT crews are scene to inspect the bridge.
