“They said it just started rocking coming through this stretch of road and tipped over, hit the ground and busted,” said Jeff Poquette with Southside Wrecker.
Crews shut down several lanes as they worked to clear the area.
Drivers experienced delays of more than an hour.
No one was hurt when the building fell off the trailer.
