The driver of semi owned by Ellis County apparently misjudged the height of an overpass just east of Ellis on Thursday, causing its haul to hit the bridge.

According to Kansas Highway Patrol Public Information Officer Tod Hileman,  KHP troopers responded to a report of the crash at around 1 p.m.

Hileman said the driver of the semi was hauling a backhoe when “part of it hit the bridge.”

Hazmat crews from the Kansas Department of Transportation were called to the scene to clean up oil leaking from the backhoe.

No injuries were reported.
