Police said that a commercial vehicle pulling a trailer with a backhoe struck the overpass due to being over the height limit. Concrete from the overpass struck two other vehicles.

One person was transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

MDOT is on the scene assessing the “significant” damage to the overpass. MDOT said Northbound US-23 will remain closed through the weekend (Feb. 12-13), while crews investigate.
