A garbage truck operated by Emterra Environmental was traveling eastbound on I-94 when it crashed through the median guardrail and ended up getting stuck on the Lapeer Road overpass, with a portion of the truck hanging over the bridge. Port Huron Township fire crews and the Michigan State Police assisted sheriff’s deputies at the scene of the crash.
