Emergency officials decided to leave the big rig where it was until daylight when a two crew was brought in to remove the transport trailer and cab. A film crew from Heavy Rescue 401 was also on scene documenting the recovery. The westbound on-ramp at Burnham Street was closed until the debris was cleared which was around 12 p.m. on Saturday.
