The Moose Jaw Police Service has charged a semi-truck driver with offences under the Traffic Safety Act after the driver smashed into the Highway 1 overpass with an oversized load.
The semi was travelling west on Highway 1 around 9 p.m. on April 4 when it collided with the Main Street overpass. Police and the Ministry of Highways responded to the incident, with police closing one lane for a time while ministry employees cleared debris from the highway and determined the overpass was safe to use.
Damages to the overpass and the semi-trailer unit are estimated at $250,000.
