30 in front of the Arkansas Department of Transportation office. Agency
spokesman Danny Straessle said the bridge had only cosmetic damage.
I-30 was closed for a time in both directions while crews picked up the
DiGiorno and Tombstone brand pies. The highway, which goes around the south side
of Little Rock, is part a major link that connects Dallas and points west to
Memphis, Tennessee, and points north and east.
There was no word on who missed out on pizza deliveries because of the
accident.
