Highway 1 back open after the bed of a dump truck strikes overpass near Rio Del Mar

RIO DEL MAR/APTOS, Calif. (KION-TV) -- The CHP confirms northbound Highway 1 at Freedom Boulevard is back open after the bed of a dump truck struck an overpass in the area early Monday morning.

The CHP says the 3-axel dump truck was traveling north on Highway 1, with the bed of the truck raised around 1 a.m. on Monday.

That's when the CHP says the bed of the truck struck the overpass, with officers at the scene saying the bed is stuck.

The CHP says crews are working to remove the dump bed, which could take an hour as of 2:45 a.m.

Cal Trans crews will then need to evaluate the integrity of the bridge.

No injuries were reported and no other vehicles were involved, according to the CHP.

Highway 1 was able to reopen by about 6:30 a.m.
