BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) — The Florida Highway Patrol says a tow truck worker fell to their death from the Congress Avenue overpass on Interstate 95 while helping to upright an overturned tractor trailer.
The crash near Boca Raton left the truck dangling over the interstate's overpass, causing a traffic snarl along the busy South Florida corridor early Wednesday.
