Truck driver forgot to lower a delivery crane and struck the overpass causing "significant" damage
Six Mile Rd has been closed to traffic to allow crews to repair the overpass that supports the Galloping Goose Bridge.
View Royal Fire Chief Paul Hurst says a Slegg delivery truck driver forgot to lower a crane and struck the overpass:
" A truck coming down 6 Mile Rd., unfortunately the crane, the boom, was still up from a delivery, hit the Galloping Goose cycling bridge behind us. Caused significant damage to the bridge , and as you can see significant damage to the truck."
The truck's frame was bent and pushed down onto the wheel making it difficult to move. There was a fuel leak -- but it was quickly contained. The driver was not injured.
The bridge itself has re--opened to cyclists and pedestrians. But 6 Mile Rd. was closed to allow crews time to repair the damage.
