Traffic Officer Gus Carlson said the driver of the truck had dropped off a dumpster and failed to lower the bed, which collided with the overhead pedestrian walkway that connects the Arena Parking Garage to the UNF Arena (Bldg 34).

At this time the overhead walkway and crosswalk are closed, and the section of UNF Drive along the UNF Arena is having traffic rerouted.  These areas may reopen after inspections from engineering.
