A tractor trailer combination ran off Interstate 8 early Saturday morning and the wreckage may be there a while.

The big rig ran off the westbound lanes of the freeway at about 4:30 a.m. Saturday. The accident happened right at the Devil's Canyon Bridge and the vehicle went down the ravine coming to rest under the bridge. The driver suffered minor injuries in the accident but recovery of the wreckage may take a while. Initial inspections revealed damage to the guard rail but no structural damage to the bridge. The wreckage was said to be way down the canyon and initial attempts to recover it were unsuccessful. Another attempt willo be made later.
