Trucking Association said driver error does contribute to overpass collisions, but said the province needs to do more to improve highway infrastructure. Last July, a crash at the Highway 1 overpass in Langley, B.C., became the eighth incidence of trucks carrying over-height loads striking overhead bridges, the province's Transportation Ministry reported. The collision is one of many incidents involving trucks hitting overpasses in the last year.Ī string of overpass collisions in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley last summer led to truckers raising safety concerns in the region. The RSU will be working with B.C.'s Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure to conduct engineering and structural assessments of the Knight Street bridge deck, Cambie Road overpass and other nearby areas. RCMP said no injuries were reported and the Richmond Road Safety Unit has taken over the investigation. "The commercial vehicle was located some distance away as it was severed from the trailer unit." "It was determined that a commercial vehicle was towing a dump trailer in the raised position and it failed to clear the overpass," Hwang said. highways after series of overpass collisions Truckers call for improvements to B.C.This article is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License, which means that you can copy and modify it as long as the entire work (including additions) remains under this license.
