Traffic on the Demerara Harbour Bridge was yesterday afternoon stalled for an hour and a half after a truck, GHH 2756, canted over the edge of the east- west thoroughfare at the retractor span.
General Manager of the Demerara Harbour Bridge Rawlston Adams told reporters that the truck was heading in a westerly direction on the bridge, when its front and back wheels on the left hand side slipped over the edge.
The driver exited the truck and fled the scene immediately and the owner was up to press time assisting the police with investigations.
Upon investigation, he said, the situation demanded that they shut the entire bridge down because of the vibrations and the tide.
