The unsecured bucket of the backhoe struck the western edge of the Bradshaw Road overcrossing about 8:20 a.m. as the semi-truck was traveling east on the freeway. A 6- to 10-inch piece of concrete broke loose from the 15-foot, 2-inch-tall overpass, and a “small amount” of oil spilled from the backhoe onto the underside of the overcrossing and a vehicle traveling behind the truck, according to a CHP news release.
