Updated: May 29, 2012 12:40PM



A truck that was too tall for an underpass briefly got stuck Tuesday morning in Palos Park, police said.

The truck was southbound on 80th Avenue just north of 120th Street when it became stuck under a railroad viaduct, police said.

The truck got stuck about 8 a.m. and was there for about three hours. That part of 80th Avenue was closed to traffic until the truck was freed, police said.

There were no injuries, police said.
