SALINA, N.Y. -- A Florida man driving an RV on the Onondaga Lake Parkway hit the bridge -- shearing off air-conditioning units, awnings and antennas from the RV -- but did not stop, the Onondaga County Sheriff's Office said.

The crash occurred just before 1 p.m. Saturday in the town of Salina at the CSX railroad bridge that passes over Onondaga Lake Parkway.

Gerald Williams, 73, of Florida, was driving north on the parkway in a 45-foot 2009 Travel Supreme RV when it hit the railroad bridge, Sgt. Jon Seeber, speaking for the sheriff's office, said. The force of the crash sheared off the RV's air-conditioning units, awnings, antennas and horns that were mounted on the roof.

The posted height of the CSX bridge is 10 feet 9 inches (it is actually a foot higher). Seeber said the RV's height is listed as being 12.5 feet.

The bridge suffered minor damage that included pieces of metal and plastic getting stuck in some of the girders.

No one was hurt, Seeber said, but a vehicle traveling behind the RV got a flat tire driving through the debris. Deputies closed the northbound lanes of the Onondaga Lake Parkway so a large amount of debris could be cleared, Seeber said.

After the crash, Williams kept going north, Seeber said. Deputies later found him in the parking lot of a business off Lumber Way in the town of Clay, he said.

Williams was issued tickets for failure to obey a traffic control device and leaving the scene of a property damage accident.

People have crashed into the low CSX bridge over Onondaga Lake Parkway many times over the years. In 2010, four people were killed and 24 injured when a double-decker Megabus they were riding slammed into the bridge.

The state later installed a one-of-a-kind detector system to warn drivers that their vehicle was too tall. That cut down on the number of crashes, although they still do occasionally happen.
