ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Despite the scary images, there were no injuries in a crash involving a camper dangling over an overpass.

It's believed the driver somehow lost control on part of the camper, which caused it to crash over the barrier wall on northbound Interstate 275 at I-175, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. The crash happened just before 11 a.m. Thursday, March 15.
