PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- First responders were dealing with a mess on the westbound side of the Ben Franklin Bridge after a tractor-trailer flipped over on Monday morning.

Chopper 6 was over the scene on the Old City side of the bridge.

The crash happened around 11 a.m. and the driver was pulled from the wreckage a short time later. We are still waiting for word on injuries.

It appears the truck was carrying some type of produce.

Officials are warning drivers to expect delays heading into the city.

It's not clear what caused the accident.
