I have lived here 19 years. I have never seen anything like this. Never before. Reporter but the crash caused another collision moments later between a shuttle bus and pickup truck on the westbound side. The drivers suffered minor injuries. We were able to get traffic shutdown and stopped relatively quickly on the eastbound side and start moving the vehicles that became stuck in this area here. Reporter at least 100 gallons of fuel, oil and hydraulic fluid spilled because of the initial crash. The cleanup made even more challenges as crews worked to disassemble the crane throughout the day.
