Pickup truck stops on shoulder for tire change near bridge construction, Albany NY
TrafficA pickup truck with a trailer stopped on the northbound right shoulder of I-90 has a flat tire. The shoulder is too narrow for a safe tire change. The driver requests to move into a nearby bridge construction area to safely change the tire because the trailer is extra wide and changing the tire in a traffic lane would be unsafe.
