"Two bridge operators were fired after raising the Chelsea Street Bridge with a pickup truck still on it.

It happened Friday on the bridge that connects East Boston and Chelsea.

Cell phone video captured the draw bridge going up with the truck still parked on it.

A Massachusetts Department of Transportation spokesperson said two workers did not follow protocol and were terminated.

No one was hurt."
