Tractor-Trailer Carrying Auntie Anne's Pretzels Overturns On Ben Franklin Bridge; Causing Huge Traffic Delays
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - There are big traffic problems Thursday morning on the Ben Franklin Bridge heading into Philly. A tractor-trailer overturned at the base of the bridge on the Philadelphia side, just before 4 a.m.
The truck was carrying Auntie Anne's pretzels. Workers are still removing boxes of pretzels from the truck.
HEAVY delays! Traffic is backed up to the NJ side on the Ben from the overturned tractor. Consider taking the Walt Whitman or other area bridges this morning. @CBSPhilly @TotalTrafficPHL pic.twitter.com/ozZE7GKv3H

This is causing a monumental backup into New Jersey.
