TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - A trucker hauling a crane that struck the underside of an Interstate 10 overpass in Marana has been cited.
The accident occurred shortly after 9 a.m. yesterday and briefly closed all I-10 eastbound lanes until the overpass could be inspected.
Marana police say the crane caused about $200,000 damage to the overpass and two support pillars.

Trucker John Holcombe of Casa Grande was cited on suspicion of violating a roadway height restriction and on suspicion of failure to control his speed to avoid a collision.
Police say the bridge has a sign showing the clearance is 15 feet, 2 inches. The rig and cargo, they say, were measured at 16 feet high.
