    A tractor trailer got into a slippery situation in Center City Philadelphia on Wednesday morning.

    The CVS pharmacy rig got stuck on a large snow mound on South 11th Street near Market Street, leaving the large trailer leaning perilously to one side around 8 a.m. on Wednesday.

    Photos of the mishap posted to social networks show the truck stuck in the middle of the street, preventing traffic from getting by.

    The truck appears to have been making a delivery to the CVS store up the block and lodged itself when trying to back down Ludlow Street.
