Truck driver fined after hitting guard rail

Dec 13, 2017 | 9:22 AM

The Prince Albert Police Service has issued a fine to the driver of the semi truck that crashed on the Riverside Overpass off ramp Tuesday morning.

Police said the vehicle had deviated from the truck route.

At around 7:45 a.m. police responded to a call about a semi which had gotten hung up on the guard railing while merging from Highway 55.

The overpass was eventually cleared but the incident caused long tail-backs as traffic coming into the city was seriously snarled up.

To add to the traffic problems one of the southbound lanes on that stretch is closed because of the damage to the overpass caused by a semi last week.

Traffic was forced to move into that lane and squeeze around the truck.

Wes Hicks from the city of Prince Albert told paNOW “that was a big risk but we had no options.”
