Semi Goes Over Side Of Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel

Officials say driver error caused a tractor-trailer to go over the side of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel Thursday afternoon. According to police, 47-year-old Joseph Chen had just passed another tractor-trailer and as he re-entered the lane, he drove over a curb and went airborne. Authorities are still hoping to get more information from the truck’s black box, if it can be found and recovered. The tractor-trailer went into the water on the southbound side of the CBBT around 12:30 p.m. Navy spokesman Cmdr. Dave Hecht said a crew with HSC 2 out of Norfolk was in the area training when police called for help.
