Truck strikes overhanging balcony on Cadiz Street

The St Augustine Police Department public information officer, Mark Samson, reported to Historic City News that at this hour, a delivery truck is stuck under the overhanging balcony of a private building on Cadiz Street.

Traffic has been rerouted for the entire length of Cadiz Street, between St. George Street and Avenida Menendez, and the street is closed.

“The truck will not be moved until the balcony can be shored up,” Samson told local reporters. “Because we do not know the extent of damage done to the balcony or building, we are asking that vehicles avoid the street at least through tomorrow.”

There were no injuries reported. The City building department agrees with the recommendation to leave the truck in place. Police will update Historic City News when more information is available.

The driver has been cited for failure to obey a traffic control device.
