OREGON CITY - An 18-wheeler got stuck inside a tunnel in Oregon City on Monday, causing a big traffic mess.

According to the Oregon State Police, the rig got wedged inside the tunnel on Highway 99E when the driver did not give a wide enough berth in the curve.

Crews spent the morning and early afternoon getting the rig out, and it wasn't easy.

All of the southbound lanes were closed for several hours.
