A camper ended up dangling from an interstate overpass in Florida on Thursday for several hours after a crash involving three vehicles, officials said.
The St. Petersburg Fire Rescue posted on Twitter there were no injuries in the crash on Interstate 275, but the camper was hanging "precariously over the guard rail."
Video from highway cameras belonging to the Florida Department of Transportation and photos posted by rescue officials show the trailer's back wheels hanging from the overpass.
