Debris was strewn across Philadelphia's Vine Street Expressway in a truck crash that closed the busy interstate Wednesday afternoon and left traffic backed up for the length of the road.

The crash took place in the westbound lanes of I-676 at the Ben Franklin Parkway around 1 p.m. in Center City.

A white work truck had ladders and other things torn off the back and came to rest against the middle barrier. A black pickup truck with front-end damage came to rest backwards on the off-ramp that leads to 22nd Street.

No word yet on injuries. However, you could see someone being transported by emergency personnel from the scene.
