Norfolk, Va. – An over height tractor-trailer caused delays on Hampton Blvd. after striking signal wires early Sunday afternoon.
According to the City of Norfolk, shortly before 2:50 p.m., a tractor-trailer was traveling Southbound on Hampton Blvd when it struck the signal wires at the intersection of Jamestown Crescent.
